Editorial
This is tKe first issue with our monthly CD-ROM
atiiicned (for those who purchased the CD issue that is). And boy do
we have some treats in store for yow on forthcoming CDs. On both
CD and floppy disk this issue there is a superb utility: XCAD 2000.
Those who remember our cover mounted XCAD Designer two years
ago, will just love this. On the games side of things check out the
demo of Blobz, it really is a cracking little game. If you're a fan of
Lemmings then you're on to a good thing. Its reviewed on page 38.
The feature this month, about connecting your Amiga to the
Psion Series 3 and Siena could prove fortuFtous with Christmas
approaching. We're big fans of these little computers here in CU
Amiga land and if you don't already have one then check, them out now. Of course the big bonus
is connecting them to your Amiga. Write documents on the move and then download them to
Final Writer or whatever your fave word processor is.
Our cover story this month is the long awaited Chaos Engine 2. We thought it might be ready
for review but in the end, although it was nearly there, there were a few minor alterations to be
made so instead we were given unprecendented exclusive access to the game to test each level
and get a feel for the gameplay And it looks impressive. See the feature on page 34.,
This is my hnal month at the helm of CU Amiga Magazine. I am moving off to another project
so by the time you read the next issue there will be a replacement face grinning away at you from
the top left hand corner of this box. Who will it be? Can't say, but rest assured whoever it is will
maintain the high standards CU Amiga Magazine
sets as the most innovative and exciting Amiga
magazine in the business. It has been an excit-
ing two and a half years in the editor's seat an;:-
the Amiga has seen many changes during it.
Like even^thing it needs the boost of new tech-
nology to survive long term, and hopefully this
will happen sooner rather than later. CU Amiga
Maigazine will keep you informed of events as
they happen. Goodbye and thanks for everything.

Feature
20 Fsion palmtops & the Amiga
The Psion palmtop computer
could bring portable
computing to the Amiga at
last. Like the Amiga, the
Psion also has a superb
multitasking operat
ing system and
makes an excellent
portable buddy to
the Amiga. We
look into the
Psion's capabili-
ties and the
superb shareware
software package
for connecting the
Psion palmtops to
your Amiga.

Getting started
OK then, cards on the tabl«: XCAD 2000 uses a
bit of a quirky intfti-f^ce. While most of it is ccm-
troiled in the normal wav from pull down menus
and windows it also ha$ a command line 'con-
sole' at the bottom of the screen. This can be
used to enter comimands dtfectiv from the kev-
board, aJthough you don't have to use it it all.
You'll notice when you make menu selections that
commands appear in this box. One way of learn-
ing the comiTiand line short cuts is to keep an eye
on it while you meke youi" menu selections.
The other thing to note is that after v<3u've
made your initial menu seiection you'll often be
faced with a customisedi sub-menu. These can be
different depending on which selection v*QU have
made. Sometimes these will also have theii- own
sub-menus for further seJections. Generaily clicking
on Return or Action from these menus will confirm
your selection or continue to the next menu. Where
a value needs to be selected you'll be presented
with a small calculator-style pad. Certain selections
require you to first select a parameter then its value,
followed by any other parameters that are needed. For
example, to alter the rotation of the viewpoint, you
could select X, then the amount of rotation for the X
axis, then do the same for any rotation you might
require around the other axes.

Pr of essiona I
3D CAD is
now within
your grasp.
CAD is used to design
eveiything from spacecraft to
toothpaste tubes. In many cases
it's also combined with CAM
(Computer Aided Manufacture) in
which case the CAD designs are
used to control robotic machin-
ery that goes ahead and turns
the drawings into objects, XCAD
200O is quite capabie of handling
professional design work and
can output its resulting drawings
to full 'AO' size plotters.
Demo drawing
To load the demo drawing, first
start up the 3D version of XCAD
2000. There are a number of
icons you can use to start up the
program. Each one will launch
either the 2D or 3D version in
one of a number of screen
modes, as indicated by the text
labels- Lower resolutions with
fewer colours require less mem-
ory to run. Select one of the 3D
icons. Now you can open the
demo drawing. Select Open
Drawing from the File menu then
click on f^eturn. This will bring up
a file requester, in which you
should see a drawer called 3D
and a file called Oxford-model,
xdr. Click on the 3D drawer and
then seJect the Oscford-ZOOO file.
You won't see anything

drawing try altering the rotation
values. Select Rotate Display and
then click on either X, Y or Z, Now
you'll see that little calculator pad
mentioned earlier, Use this to

you can use the keyboard to enter

dow at the bottom of the screen
either way. To rotate the view
through more than one axis, make
another selection rather than
selecting Return again, This way
you can spin the view through all
three axes in one go.
Drawing tools
There ire '.oois for drawing basic
elements which go to make up
your overaN projects. These are
available from the Draw menu.
Circles, lines, points, points,
strings and symbols are on the
menu. Objects or 'Entities' can
be manipulated from the Edit
menu. From here you can done,
rotate, mirror and explode vari-
ous parts of your drawing to
save you having to repeatedly
draw out similar parts.
Zooming in
The Display menu is loaded with
options for zooming in and out
of your drawing as well as
scrolling commands for moving
around in the X and Y axes.
Quick zooms can be achieved
with the Zoom Window option,
which allows you to drag out a
specific area of the drawing for
closer scrutinisation. The Layer
menu is used for navigation
around the various layers of your
drawing, while the Plot menu
opens the options window for
sending your drawing to a plot-
ter. The Verify menu gives a
breakdown of your elements
while the Select menu is used
for picking out specific parts of
your project.

XCAD 2000
Disk number 144
Before you can use XCAD ZOOO you need to install it to your
hard drive. Td do this, boot from v<!)ur hard drive as usual and
insert the XCAD cover disk. Double click the XCAD disk icon
and vou'll see another icon marked' Extract XCAD. Double
click this to start the instailation. A file requester will appear
asking vou to select your chosen destination for the program.
Select the destination and click on OK. An XCAD dravver will
automaticailv be created and the prograrn will be extracted
to your hard drive.
Once the installation is done vou can go ahead and run the
progran^ straight away from your hard drive. Vou can choose
to start the program in a number of screen modes and colour
depths by clicking on one of a few alternative XCAD icons.
AmigaNCP
Disk number 145
As a complement to our Psion-Amiga feature in this issue
we've included the software required to link the two togeth-
er. AmigaNCP can be found on cover disk 145 (the Blobs
disk). First of all you need to extract the archive to RAM: or
any other device, such as your hard drive. Once this archive
has been extracted you can then run the proper installation
program from the extracted drawer. This will install the pro-
gram on your system. For more information on using
AmigaNCP see the documentation in the archive and also
check out the Psion^Amiga feature on page 20 of this issue.

AMIGA
Disk number 145: Blobz is a
top little game, reviewed: on page
as of this very issue. So you'll be
wanting to play the demo then,
BSobz is archived onto disk 145
so it Hieeds to be uncompressed
onto two separate floppy disks,
To do so you'll need to load
'^Workbench first. If you are
working from a floppy version
of 'Workbench make s^jre to
IIP^i-4 tv— write protect it first and, as
l^^^^ffl usuall, always write protect
■H^l your cover disk. Once
^I^H Workber^ch is Foaded insert
: ^^^^^ disk 145 and doubfe click it
with yojr left mouse button, Tfiree icons will
appear. The first two desrchive Blobz disks 1 and 2, the third one is
for AnnigaNCP and details for it are given opposite. To dearchive the
first Blobz disk doubleclick the Unpack_blobz_AGA_Disk1 icon. If
yoLi have a hard drive a nnessage will appear telling yoy that it is
copyirtg the disk to RAM. If you are operating from floppy disk you
will have to swop disk 145 with your Workbench disk twice before
this message appears. When a screen gppears asking you to insert a
blank formatted disk, do so ijnd press return. Once Blobz disk 1 has
been created (the screen returns to the Disk 145 icon and all disk
activity ceases), remove the new disk and re-insert disk 145, then
repeat the procedure for the Unpack_blobz_AGA_Di3k2 icon. The
new Blobz demo disk 1 is atitobooting. so restart your Amiga with it
in DFO: aind then change to disk two when requested.
How to play
Blobz is based on Lemmings, and like that pillar of society you have
to prevent a toad of little creatures (in this case Blobz) from falling
over the edge of platforms, getting them to the transporter at the
other end of the level. Some transporters have to be activated by
picking up diamonds." Others will be activated afready. The intro
screen on each level will give you
specific instructions on what you
have to do. Blobz is mouse con-
trolled, even in the menu
screens. At the bottom of the
screen are various skills, click on
these and then click on a particu-
lar blob to make it carry out the
skill. There is a power bar above
the skills which determines how
many you can use in sequence. a sii^ymii pi» tm rsHteof iie inmtcnir

ECTS flops for Amiga
But Guildhall signs important deals
O (though it was one of
the biggest trade
shows in recent history,
the ECTS (European
Computer Trade Show} had very
little to show for itself on Amiga.
Despite millions of pounds being
spent on stands by the likes of
Virgin and Acclaim it was only
among the smaller nooks and
crannies that Amiga titles appear-
ed, the main point of contact
being the Guildhall leisure stand.
Guildhall were displaying the 10
Out of 10 range of educational
software along with new tittles
from Audiogenic such as Brian
Lara Cricket '96. They were also
investigating the distribution of a
prt4ucts fitn 1 D Sital II, A«ii«|ciii( Mil Mfn~

dmntCTS.
range of games from a Pblish
company called Mirage Software -
not to be confused with the UK
based Mirage, developers of Rise
Of The Robots and other titles.
More news from Guildhall con-
cerned the licencing of the rights
to 'Micro^Prose and Codennasters'
one back catalogues of games, to
resell as budget titles. The
Microprose deal is, according to
Guildhairs Managing Director,
Giles Hunter, "very close to com-
pletion", while the Codemasters
one should be sorted out by mid
October. Hunters' ultimate aim
is to release a complete back
catalogue of games at attrscUve
prices from these publishers in
time for Christmas. They are also
talking tctother pubEishers with a
view to similar deals, so the
shops should be filling up with
Amiga games again soon.
Other Amiga games being
promoted at the show were
Chaos Engine 2 (once again on
the Warner stand - and our cover
story this month). XPB and
Ruffian, The latter was originally
reviewed last year and was due
for release at the time by
Grandslam, who, at the last
moment, dropped the title. The
programmers have now decided
to go ahead with distributing and
publishing the game themselves,
having tweaked the product a lit-
tle ( it is re-reviewed on page 41 \.
Andy Davidson, fresh from
being inten/iewed for The Times
computer supplement. Interface,
was at the show telling everyone
that the PC is crap and the Amiga
rules. In fact he wais adamant. that
Worms AG A (previewed e!(clu-
sively in CU Amiga Magazine
September 1996) is going to be
on time and absolutely fantastic.
More news on this (and the Alan
Dykes revenge worm he is plan-
ning to include in the game) in the
coming months.
The ECTS has in the past been
a showcase for Amiga software
along with every other computer
and console format under the
sun. Traditionally held in both
Spring and Autumn in 1997 it
seems likely that the Spring show
will be cancelled to make way for
a much bigger annual show in the
Autumn, If this is the case both
hardware and software developers
have a full year to get the therrv
selves together to put on a better
show than they did {apart from
stalwarts Guildhall) this year.

PIOS Proceeds Down Different Path
John Smith of PIOS cleared up
the situation regarding tlieir
clone cormputer recently,
announcirtg tinat it would indeed
be a Macintosh clone, based
around the PowerPC chip and
Mac OS 7.5.3. As far as the
Amiga is coricemed, and as their
Web site indicates, PIOS are hav-
ing problems com^municating
with VIScorp over licencing the
Amiga OS (the buyout, re-sched-
uled to have been completed on
September 18th is still not being
confirmed at the time of going to
press}. As a result they have
gone for a new project called
'PIOS r, which will not be based
on Amiga OS, but on a different
OS called BeOS, which is being
developed with the aid of ex-
Commodore engineer Dave
Hanie, This system is not com-
patible with Amiga but is, in the
words of Mr Smith "in the spirit
of Amiga" and is "the fastest way
to progress under the current cir-
cumstances," PIOS needs to gel
a machine on the market as soon
as possible, and waiting for
VIScorp to sanction a new OS
and get licencing arrangements
set up will delay this too long.
PIOS were present at the
ECTS in an attempt to drum up
support from software publishers
for their project, but were unwili-
ing to comment on their success
apart from saying "some Amiga
developers have expressed an
interest, but we can't say more
than that"
Mirage of Poland
Mirage Software from Warsaw, in
Poland have never had an Amiga
game published in the UK, but
their Sales Manager, Lech
Buszczynski, claims that they
have literally dozens of Amiga
titles available. There's one prob-
lem however: they're all in Polish!
[As in the language not stuff you
put on your shoes,)
We previewed Super
Taekwofido Master and Rock St^ar
two months ago, and they've now
sent us even more as yet unpub-
lished titles. With interesting
names like: Mortal Weapon,
CyberForce, Pinball Hazard, Dan
Wilder, Gate 2 Freedom. Domain,
Jurajski, Rooster and Project
Battlefield. Niot all of these are of
full price quality but some like the
aforementioned Super Taekwondo
Master, Pinball Hazard and the
Doom Clone, Project battlefield,
show some promise. Guildhall
showed some interest in the
games at ECTS, although Mirage
may have to get some more reli-
ably translated before a UK dis-
tributor takes them on, They
might also have to adopt a flexi-
ble approach to their company
title, as the UK firm of the same
name are likely to object.

Direct To Your Door
A new company has set up with
the aim of a two pronged attack
on the Amiga market- in retail and
in software publishing.
Direct Software's shop, based in
Northampton, originally stocked all
platforms, however as Amiga sales
far outnumbered other formats they
are now an Amiga-only shop.
Convinced of the Amiga's long term
success, Amiga Director. Steven
Flowers said: "We do not tolerate
any discussion on the 'fate of the
Amiga', there is no fate, only a
future for this machine".
Their new game, haunted, which
is in the early stages of develop-
ment (see screen shot below} will be
a murder mysteiv affair We should
have a preview very soon.
Cut price CD-ROMs
Fred Fish, grandfather of freely
redistributable software on the
Amiga, is cutting prices on Amiga
CD-ROMs, The budget line of 'CD
Sensations' from Schatztruhe are
available for US$12 each and the
newest Ammet Set 3 is only
USS36, Virtually all Amiga products
have been discounted.
Cronus, the company that grew
out of Fred Fish's Amiga Libra n^
Services, publishes original Amiga
titles and acts as the distributor for
GTI of Germany. Cronus can be
reached at +602-491-0442 voice,
-I- 602-49 1-0048 fax:, or http://
www.ninemoons-com online.
Myst fake aftarmath
Spurred on by the amount of sup-
portive response they have
received Myst's creators. Cyan,
have begun considering tt^e reali-
ties of implementing and publish-
ing Amiga Myst. So far, no
commitments have been made.
However, Cyan representatives
have discussed the Amiga and the
potentials of Myst with both
VIScorp and Amiga game develop-
ers in the US and Europe.
Cfieap mamory for ASOdOs
The A3000 is regarded by many
as Commodore's best Amiga
hardware design. One of the
drawbacks to the machine for
the modern user is its memory
system. At the time it was devel-
oped. SIMMs were not the indus-
try standard they are today, and
as such Commodore chose a dif-
ferent memory system using
now-scarce ZIP chips-
Keith Siders of ProvTech, an
American Amiga hardware com-
pany, has found a solution. The
Ami FAST 3000 card replaces the
ZIPS in your A3000 and gives you
up to four SIMM slots to expand
By Jason Compton
your machine to up to 16Mb of
Fast RAM. The card is available
as a finished product, a kit. or a
bare PCB - the latter two options
are less expensive, but only rec-
ommended for hardware enthusi-
asts who enjoy building their
own projects,
The AmiFAST is already
shipping in early order quantities
and a fully-decked out AmiFAST
board (with T6Mb of memory
installed) is expected to cost
wel! under US$250 at current
RAM prlcing.
Finallv out
Amiga Atlanta has finally released
its lOth Anniversary banquet video
tape, dubbed X-lO. At press time,
pricing was not yet available. The
videotape commemorates Amiga
Atlanta's groundbreaking 10th
anniversary celebration, held in a
banquet hall with nearly 150 atten-
dees. Among the celebrities that
were on tap (and on tape) for the
evening were RJ Mical, father of
Intuition, Dale Luck, whose name
is burned into the early Amiga
libraries, and Dave Haynie, Amiga
hardware guru.

Turkish American
Revolution Sim
Unlikely though it may seem, an
American Revolution sim has
arrived on our desk from Istanbul,
Turkey, It is a turn based game
where you take over connmand of
either Britisti troops tn,fing to resist
the rebellion. Colonial troops trying
to create it, German n^ercenaries
helping the British or the French,
wt\o are trying to manipulate
Britain's disadvantage to their bene-
fit by helping the colonials. It's
neatly put together and you can
visit most of the towns, cities and
settlements on the east coast of
Her Majesty's Colonies and fight
histronic battles.
There is a rolling demo of the
game on our CD-ROM this month.
For details of how to get hold of
The game contact the developer

In the palm
* your Amiga
An Amiga in the palm of
your hand? Not quite, but
the diitiinutlve Psion mini
computer is the perfect
little brother. Together they
let you take the Amiga
experience out on the road.
Aniil's: Im|
\mi Mil
IwtltefT
We're going to have to admit it -
tliere's not going to be a true
Amiga portable, notebook or
wliatever any time sao^n, Much
as it might be handy to
have sucti a light weight Amiga, its
custom chip-set technology doesn't
lend itself to a low power Amiga.
Ttie PAWs machines migtit be
more accurately called 'lugablas'
rather than true portables,
That's not to say there isn't a
way to work on the move. It's just
that such a solution' would have-
to be based around a machine
that is truly portable and this
machine then needs to be
linked to the Amiga in some
way, The expensive option
is to use a PC notebook and
link it to the Amiga "to share
the data. A better option
that's both a hell of a lot cheap-
er and a lot smaller than even a
notebook comes in the form of
the British developed Psion
palmtop computer.
Inexpensive
It might seem odd that we'd
be covering another comput-
er platform in CU Amiga but
in this case the Psion can be
a very useful thing when
coupled with the Amiga, The
tiny Pslon3. 3a and 3c and Siena models
are also relatively inexpensive and like
the Amiga have multitasking operating
system built-in.
This palmtop description isn't an exag-
geration either, these units fit into a pock-
et and run for many hours off a set of two
AA batteries. Often called 'organisers.'
which sadly understates the worth of
these machines, the Psions
have built-in networking
capability and a serial
port. Couple this with
the PC serial cable and
some superb share-
ware software on the
Amiga and we
have more
than iust a
tenuous link, the Psion can be made a part
of your Amiga.
Psions have some built in software
such as a spreadsheet database, word
processor, spell checker/ thesaurus,
agenda/ organiser, alarm clock, world
time, calculator and even a nice little
Patience card game. And it's got a built in
sampler too. These packages aren't limit-
FEATURE
The Psion Palmtop range
Psion recently announced two new palmtops in their
range which should be available by the time yov read
this. The Psion 3c is a slightly enhanced 3a model
with faster communications (57600 baud versus
19200} and infra-red capability. The infra-red func-
tion allows 3cs and Sienas to 'beam' data between
each other. At the time of writing, Psion were contin-
uing with the policy of shipping the cable only with
the expensive link software. Psion suppliers Clove
may fae able to advice on a cheaper solution that
doesn't involve the expense of the PC software. The
3a's cable has a line driver making it more expensive.
The Siena is the realty new baby, hovuever. This cut
down 3a is considerably cheaper and smaller. The
screen is half the si^e of the 3a - the other half of
the lid is occupied by a numeric keypad. The main
keyboard itself is smaller too. It still has the basic
suite of powerful software and facilities though,
despite its reduced price and the fact that it looks
like a more traditional 'organiser'. Unfortunately
because of the reduced screen size, it's very likely
that much of the existing Psion shareware software
won't work. While this isn't as impressive as the big«
ger models [nut that any of them could be described
as 'big') it does offer an even better value option for
those who rust want the word processor and organise
er features. It's a shame it doesn't have the brilliant
3a/c spell checker though.
Unlike the 3a, the Siena doesn't have any slots for
static RAM and flash RAM cards. These would normally be used as drives
to store data and such forth but since the intention is to connect the
machine to your AmigSj, storage and the lack of the card stots isn't a seri-
Qvs problem. There is an add-on unit which add* an extdrnal slot if this
capability is necessary. It's likely that commercial software which will
work on the Siena in the future will be provided on PC MS-DOS floppy
disks where as for the 3a, special ROM cards were used. Even with no
2Mb version, the Siena packs a punch in an even smaller package.
\Jl
L^na
ed to use only on the Psion, the data creat-
ed by them- can be accessed on the Amiga.
Especially uselul in the case of the
word processor.
Psion shareware
Psion software isn't limited to the
standard provided packages, it
also has its own shareware
scene which means you can
obtain soft^A/are for the Psion
(usually off the Internet)^ and
load it on via the serial cable.
IVe got quite a bit of software
loaded onto my 2Mb Psion
including a nnap/gijide to
tf London. PsionMan MCP done,
f terminal package, 3D tank
game, Boulderdash clone, off
line Web browser, sample
editor and more.
Given that the Psion can do
all of that and on the move,
how do we use it with the
Amiga? Well you need a
package called Amiga NCP
This is a full networking
package for ttie Amiga
which works rather like
Parnet. With Parnet you
reference a remote
device by prefixing is
name with NET:, To look
in RAM: on the other machine you exam-
ine NET: RAM/ instead. AmigaNCP is exact-
ly the same except the device is NCP:.
The f ilesystem on the Psion is based
on MS-DOS which means tt's limited to
8,3 filenames. Its drives also look like
MS-DOS with single letter designations.
A: and B: are the RAM/ROM card slots
{yes the Psion has two}, while M: is the
internal m^Tnory, like a RAM: drive in the
Psion's battery backed internal memory.
This is where ail t^ applications and data
are stored that aren't present in its ROM,
Up and running
Installing AmigaNCP is quite easy via the
installer script providfiri but therfi- Is 3 fils
called NCPconfig which will
need to be configured by
hand. Type the following lines
into the AmigaDOS shell;
Sat£HV HCP.config
'"DEVICB=aaT'ia.l .device
tmiT«0 BAUD- 132 00"'
tfien;
QoVY EHVitfCF.Confiy EHVARC t
Change the number aftec BAUD to
9600 if you have a Psion 3 and not a 3a,
3c or Siena. All you need to do now is
plug in the cable to the Amiga and the
Psion and run the software. You run it by
clicking on AmigaNCP-FileServer or
AmigaMCP-FileSystem, Use the first to
allow the Psion to access your Amiga and
the second to access the Psion from your
Amiga, Note that the link cable has nice
25 and 9 pin connectors on the end.
superb for the Surf Squirrel. Plug it in to
the Surf Squirrel and alter the DEVICE to
squirrel serial.device.
Don't feel tempted to change the baud
rate to higher than 19200 unless you're
the lucky owner of Psion's latest '3t' or
'Siena' which can handle up
to 57600 baud. Once the
Amiga side is sorted out,
you'll have to select Remote
Link from the Psion's
'Special' menu. Toggle the
remote link to On and
change the baud rate to the
maximum allowed which
stiould match the value in
NCPconfig. A warning with
the link cable and the 3/3a,
the Psion powers the line driver (the box
in the middle of the cable) and so battery
life is reduced when in use.
Is all In order?
To test it's all working, get a directory of
NCP: as there should be an icon called
Psion on your Workbench. You can also
use the Shell or a directory utility such as
Director/ Opus. In the NCP: drive you
should see all the Psion's drives listed.
Enter the M/ drawer and you see the
directories in the Psion's main backup
memory. You can copy files to and from

in fact how you install Psion software
obtained on disk or from this month's
massive archive of Psion software on the
covennountecf CD,
Wow to test the Psion side of
it, enter the Word application.
Type some text and then
choose Save As from the
menu. Cursor down in the file
requester to Disk. Cursor
right through this until REM:;
appears. You'll be able to
move through your Amiga dri-
ves like this. Once the drive
is chosen cursor down to the
filetype and change it to text, fill in a file
name and save. Bang, the ASCII file will
appear on your Amiga on the chosen
drive, Nifty or what?
Psion AiTiiga Shell
There's another trick which can be per-
formed with the Psion and a link cable.
When the remote link is enabled on the
Psion, choose install with Psion-j again.
Change the drive to C: and instaH the
comms application ,,, a little secret termi-
nal package hidden away on a ROIVt drive.
Turn the remote link off. Set your Amiga's
serial prefs to 19200, RTS/CTS etc. Run
the comms application and al&o set it up
for 19200 baud, RTS/DTS and leave all the
other handshaking options off.
Now on the Amiga, make sure you
have AUX: mounted. There may be a
mountfile of this name in
Devs:Storage/Do3d rivers. Mount this by
using Mount followed by the
full path to the AUX mount-
file. Next, type News hell
AUX: and miraculously you
should have an AmigaShell
open on the Psion in the
Comms package. You can do
anything on this shell that
you can do on a shell run-
ning on the Amiga, Run programs, fetch
directories etc.
A practical application of this woutd be
to have a modem connected to the
Amiga on auto-answer. If there's a new-
shell AUX: active, you'd be able to use
the Psion and its modem accessory to
dial in to your Amiga and control it
remotely via a Shell. Psion modems
also interface to cellular phones for the
ultimate in portable communications. At
the moment the Psion has no TCP/IP
stack (Internet software) of its own but
this (S apparently coming. There's already
Email and WWW clients {though for
offline use).
Most of us would find the Psion useful
as a go between, as a little piece of the

We've included virtually all of the Psion's fraely redistributabl« software
base' on this month's covermounted CD. In fact it's all of Frontiernet's
Psion support internet FTP site. You'll find this all in the Magazine/Psion
directory- You'll need to access it via the CLI or a directory utility and all
of the archives will be in L2X archive format (repached from the original
zips}. For this reason there's an UnLZX program in the root of this direo-
tory. Simply CO to where you'd rike to extract the archive to arid then
enter UnZip <path to archive >. There's almost a(wav« instaHation
instructions but generally this will require you moving files into
NCP:M^APP and then installing with the Psion-I key combinoition, This
collection should keep your Amiga/Psion combination happy for a very
long time.

One day we rreiy see the rebirth d the Amiga with a PowerPC
processor and other nei\ features to enable it to aampete again
with [(xky's sj'sienis. Sadly though, more than two years since
ConiiitCKbre's demise, vei>' little of substance has happened. We've
seen prototypes and promises, ixit that's iibout it...
Pertiaps fiome can wjit for the final outCTJme, but if you need more
perfomance, without paying the earth - and you necxl it today -
there s one real alternative to consider now...
Only Apple can offer you both desktop and ponable computers
that truly match ilw? ease of use the Amiga brought to your desktop.
Aflbrdable Apple Macintosh systems have PowerPC RISC proce.'^sors
with thousi^nds of off-the-shelf programs available in areas where
the Ami^ was pre^'iously so strong,
And, if you need to have the most compatible of all computers,
Macintosh is currently the only sysiem that can rtm MacOS, DOS
and Windows applications via optional DOS Cards or SoftWindows.

CU Amiga Magazine
talks to Teain17's
IVIartyn Brown, a man
renowned for superb
game production
and copious amounts
of beer consumption.
Mame: Msit\fft
Jfftnes Browit
Age: 29
Born: VV0k0fm/d,
West Yorkshire
Occupation : Director of
Deveiopment for
Teemi? Software
Biggest Success: Alien
Breed series &nd Worms
CU; When did you fkst become involved
in the games industry?
MB: "While I was at TeC in 1985 myself
and a friertd wrote a Spectrum game called
Henry's Hoard, I was 17 but had been
involved with computers and video games
since 1 was about seven or eight. We
formed Alternative Software which is still
going today although I've had nothing to do
with it since the original game."
CU: And your first Amiga experience?
MB: "As soon as \ savy an A1000 in 1985, it
was a inuist-have. As a penniless student, L
couldn't afford an Amiga until 1987 when I
got an A500, The bug kicked in then - it
was real whizz-bang stuff then,'
"Technical feats are cool
but I've had lots of good
looking, expensive beers
that tasted bad."

CU: Last month, Jon Hare serd the
Amiga is tfie best thing that's ever hap-
pened to the industry. What do you think?
MB: "TTie Amiga played a massive role in
the industry to deliver near arcade quality
games with good sounds and. visuals. The
back-bedroom, coding and demo culture
gave it a buzz and it was the machine that
everyone could get access to. An afford-
able development system that can deliver
quality ideas is exceptionally important."
, etuMclei; itmnrhcr* ird atttr fun mtii Wimii iiid t hh, A mXi2. |ave the piil«i^ wl«t Uiey wiiici: i 4Hh m e^f me.
CU: Which games mads the Amiga the
great games machine it was?
MB: "Defender Of The Crown, Shadow Of
The Beast. Speedball, Kick Off, Pinball
Dreams, Sensible Soccer and Worms. The
early ones for showing the leap up from
other systems, the latter ones for visuals
and sheer playability."
CU: Andreas Tadic and Hico Holmes
(Aiien Breed, Alien Breed Z Superfrog)
played art important role in launching
Team 17 into the industry. Yet we saw
little from them after these titles why?
MB; "Sadly, the next project after AB2,
King Of Thieves, didn't work out - there
was too much coniplacency They'd had a
lot of success the previous two years and
human nature does make you step down a
gear when life gets a little easier, even
though they are both still very capable,"
CU: AB3D2 appears to be aimed at high
spec Amigas only. This is surety a show^
piece rather than a commercial venture?
MB; 'AB3D worked really well and, in
terms of gameplay is as good as it gets on
a standard machine. AB302 was rever real-
ly a commercial venture because we knew
the market was shrinking but we had the
opportunity to 'go out with a bang'. We
tried to listen to even/one and what they
wanted - the upshot was a 4Mb, 030 mini-
mum 30 engine. We tried to deliver that
and a good ganne, too. But 1 would rather
the company be remembered for good
games rather than technological feats."
CU: And Worms, of course. What's the
formula to its success?
MB: "its popularity was based on con>
plete and utter multi-playing fun. It ailso hao
character and a charming atmosphere. I
had a lot of belief in the fact that Worms
would make it big time. It helps enormous!-,
if you have energy and conviction in all ths;
you do. The gameplay really shone out -
and people looked at the game for once
rather than fancy packaging. Technical feais
are cool but I've had lots of good looking,
expensive beers that tasted bad."
CU: You've always had & great relation-
ship with Amiga users, taking time to
answer Emails and talk to press. Are you
keen to keep Team 17 friendly and as
non-corporate as possible?
MB: "I have benefited enormously from
the Amiga scene. I was on the 'other side'
for a number of years and a keen enthusi-
ast. I ttnow what it's like to ogte the 'deve-
opmen.t dream'. I've been fortunate enougr
to get myself involved so) always take tim-;
to talk to the people who put me and the
company where we are today. I've always
tried to steer Teami 7 towards being laid
back and approachable."
CU: How important has the Amiga been
to Teami 7 Software's success?
MB: "Without the Amiga, there wouldn't
be a Team 17, Simple as that." ■

REVIEWS
DFR: December ■ Publisher: OTM (d 01827 312 302
©A, HA, HA, HEE, HEE.
HEE' sang the little
laughing gnome (iust
before getting horribly
spiked to death}. Getting spiked
surely wasn't in the lyrics of
everyone favourite old time tune
now was it? No but a bit of poet-
ic license is allowed when we're
referring to OTM's latest platlofm
game. Gnomes.
Spanning about 50 levels your
job is to lead your little men to
safety making sure tfiat the-y
don't get spiked, drop to their
certain death or meet a myriad of
other grisly fates.
OTM promise lovely graphics
and lots of nice tunes to go
along with the cheery chappies
as they amble along trying to
avoid that great big garden
centre in the sky,
At this point
Gnomes sounds very
similar to Bograts
from Vulcan (pre-
viewed last month)
only the stars of this
game dre rather more
attractive. However,
there is a major differ-
ence in that Gnomes
will run on both PC
and Amiga. The Amiga
side was handled by
Fun rise Entertainment
in Germany wliile the
PC side was devel-
oped by CyberArts, Finland. And
more improved graphics and
sound effects are
promised for some
of the more
powerful machines.
As a result of this
dual format coopera-
tion, OTM have
designed an installer
for Gnomes so
that the game will
recognise which make
of Amiga it is running on and
boot up the relevant version,
which is good news for us all-
Cool or what? You'Sl agree if you
take a look at the screenshots
here that it is looking good so far
Gnomes will run on all 1Mb
machines including OCS, ECS
and AGA machines and should
retail for around £29-95. We
should have a full review for you
next month, ■

here's a lot of snobb-
ism that goes on
amongst the games
industry. If something
hasn't got awesome graphics
th«f1 it's not wortll playing, I
don't hold to this theory, If a
game's fun to play and doesn't
cost an arm and a leg then it's
worthwhile in my books,
Ibelieve that Vulcan
software follow this school of
thought. OK maybe AMOS graph-
ics aren't state of the an but
most peopJe know th&t I like
the Valhalla series and think
that they are value for money.
So I am looking forward to
Vulcan's next venture in the
gaming world. And let's face it
they are one
of the few
companies
who are actu-
atly out there
consistently
producing
the goods,
For their
latest offer-
ing, Vulcan
Software have taken a turn
away from the path of puz-
zle and adventure games
and this time have aimed
for the skies. JETPilot is a
flight simulator which
be based around sta-
tistics and handling
methods of reaWife
jets such as the Lockheed F-104
and the English Electric Lightning
(that should mean something to
plane spotters, I presume),
Again, Vulcan are catering for
all Amiga owners so JETPilot will
run on all Amigas.
However, they recommend a
2Mb A1 200 to get the best out
the features on offer These
OL Irt'i lift this My iff Ut |r»uiid.
features will include the ability to
change the weather conditions to
suit you and 360 degree cockpit
vision which should help you
complete the 20 missions'that
are laid out for you.
Watch this space or another
one if you prefer for a review
very soon. ■

■ DFR: November fl Developer: The Bit map Brothers © 0171 391 4300
Almost there ... we take an in-depth
pre-production look at what could
be the best two player game ever.
^ri^H^k e've had so many let-
k T 1 T Jj ^^''5 ^"^ phone calls
^^J^J concerning the
^^Kr Bitmaps' latest Amiga
creation and when and if it would
ever be ready that we persuaded
the boys from Wapping to give us
an exclusive sneak preview of the
game, now in its final stages of
testing. When we originally inter-
viewed the Bitmap Brothers about
this one: their last Amiga creation
it was planned for release before
the Summer, but a series of prob-
lems with their big PC product.
Z, has delayed
it and there
only so many brothers to go
around. In fact the game was first
scheduled for release at Easter
1995, but you never know these
days do you?
To recap on the storyline,
Chaos Engine 2 is set in four dif-
ferent worlds where the four main
protagonists are acting under
orders of the Baron who is trying
to reassemble the Chaos Engine,
Each of the four worlds holds a
set of components for
the machine and the
levels are built
around retrieving
these. The four
worlds are:
future, medieval,
2!ec ;^nd Chaos -
the iattr. ' being the
mansio"' from the
original, tach wgHd has
four levels, some of
which ;ai^i divided up into
smaller zones with
ooms and mazes to
conquer. As the
game progresses
each map may have

to be traversed more than once to
get a result and although the
game cycles through the worlds
in the above order, the gameplay
in the levels is non-linear, so you
can play through things in a differ-
ent order at different times.
The four characters are straight
from the original, although they
have been re-drawn and their
computer player personalities
have been enhanced. They are
the Gentlennan, the Brigand, the
Mawie and the Mercenary. The
former two are more geared
towards brain than brawn and as

Future World
The first world yo" encounter i$ future world. This is char-
acterised by robotic en amies, aliens, computer screens and
circuit boards. The letter must be collected to please the
Baron, who needs tliem to construct his Chaos Engine all
1 over again. This is
the easiest world
and is designed in a
straightforward
' ( manner without too
many puzzles to
help you get into
the game.

computer players they pose a fast
moving, object steating threat.
The lauer two are combat
orientated characters and will try
their best to mow you down at
every possible moment.
Intalligencse
This is the key difference between
Chaos 1 and 2. In the first gam©
Vou selected another character to
help VON out, here they are in
competitiion with you. In the one
player game the computer charac-
ter's artificial intelligence gets bet-
tei as the game continues and
theif experience increases, On the
future level your task is to collect
circuit boards for the baron and
find Iceys to get you out at the
end of the level. But the computer
character has the same aim, It will
collect its own objects and then
chase you around to get yours.
It's frustrating to get to the end of
the levei and, just as you are
about to use the key to activate
the exit door, the bloomin'
Mercenairy shoots you, nnaking
you drop the key, then picks it up
and steals through the door ahead
of you.
The score is totted up on the
Baron's totometer according to
the amount of enemies you've
axed {including the other player}
the amount of objects you pick up
and whether you get out the exit
first. This latter point is important.
You might be behind in terms of
score but if, like the Mercenary in
the example above, you can catch
your opponent and clobber him
you could sneak a win.
As far as the artificial intelli-
gence is concerned I can confirm
from a half day's play that it is
indeed efficient. \ must admit to a
certain amount of scepticism
when the complexity of the sys-
tem was originally explained to
me, but On later levels these guys
get ven^ smart, dodging bullets
the way a.human player might
and wreaking havoc on your play-
er in a most vindictive manner, A

testament to this was when the
game was being demonstrated at
ECTS one punter demanded to
know where the second (human)
player was, thinking it was a net-
work game.
Two player
It's not a network game, but
adopting a standard, horizontally
split screen, two players can play
effectively. There is a single
screen option for playing against
the computer if you so wish. It is
in two player mode that Chaos
engine shines most. According to
Simon 'Duck' Knight of the
Bitmaps: "you might not believe
this, but we had Super Mario Kart
in mind when we devised the
two-player game". "The intention
was to create something you
could delve into at short notice
without having to play through the
full game."
Thus the two player mode is a

The Bitmaps are obviously keen historians as they've
adapted Azlek mythology to their own ends in creating this
level. Its enemies include jaguars (large cats, not cars) and
the scenery i$ also against you ..* yes you know the saying
"the walls have ears"? Well, they've got laser guns in Aztek
world and onlv an inwincibtlity skill can en&ure safe passage.

Chaos World
The final world is filled with mysterious hidden rooms and
creatures and scenery that can prove lethal. It is heavily
overgrown with mutant forms, due to the Chaos Engine's
influence. Here you must pick up batteries to complete the

Challenge game, as opposed to
simply a- iwo-player version of the
full game. In it you can select
from one to four levels to
play on each world and
then enter into one
on one combat to
achieve the
highest score.
Anoiher good
reason for this
method is that
you can't select a
human player for
the full game and
then cheat bv playing it
through without any (difficult)
computer competition.
In many ways the two player
mode is like a 2D version of the
'death match' modes in games
like Breed 3D, with added com-
petitive incentive to reach the
end first.
ScMinds good
Another advantage of sitting
down to play and watch th»e
game being played for an
afternoon was a chance
to check out the
impressive Richard
Joseph sound effects
and music Through a
decent sound system they
add a major amount of
atmosphere. Each leve: has jts
own theme tune, so there's
plenty of variety.
The Chaos Engine 2 is
scheduled for release at the
beginning of November, and the
Bitmaps are definitely working
full steam ahead on it. Don't
take ^eir word for it: I
sneaked around the office
and sure enough there was
an Amiga on everybody's
desk and Chaos Engine
2 was on them. The AGA
version I looked at was
fully playable and almost
reviewable, but there
were a couple of tweaks
left which means it's sti
couple of weeks away f
being signed, sealed an
ished, Due to our policy
reviewing finished games you
will get the whole lowdown ne.»<t
month (other magazines who
I
reviewed the game three months
ago take note!). The A500 version
(yes, there is one) will be delayed
longer, but is also due for
release in November, ■

©ot the most inspiring
name for a game, but
then look at Worms and
how successful that
title was. Blobz steals its garreplay
style directly from Lemmings,
replacing the suicidal rodents with
green nondescript things decked
out with tiny eyes. While
Lemmings' motivation for suicide
is biological, blobs just don't know
any better. If they walk into spikes

or water tfiey die, but there's no
stopping them, A walking they will
go, straight into trouble.
As tan be seen from the
screen shots the landscape types
are not as detailed or developed
gs Lemmings, but Blobz is a Blitz
program and so is a little more
basic {yes the pun was intended)
than the game it's based on. The
puzzles them..selves are satisfying.
if frustrating and they have been
well thought out using
the various 'skills'
which you can assign
each Blob- What you
can't see from the
screen shots is the
smooth horizontal
scrolling and the neat
moving water effects
and special touches.
While the platforms
themselves nnight look
basic, there is a good
reason for this: a level
designer
has been included so
you can make as many
as you like, and it's simple to use.
You assign skills to each Blob
like Lemmings, First click on one
of the skills represented by icons
at the bottom of the page, then
click on the Blob you want to
execute this skill. There is a rock-
et pack skill, a jumping skill, a^
reversing skill, a chomping skill
(allowing your Blobz to eat hori-
zontally through structures,
unless a solid girder is in the
way) several directional missile
skills and a digging skill, f^ot all
of these are available on each
level so, for instance, just when
you're comfortable about savirig
Blobs with the reversing skill, it
disappears on the next level. On
some levels you have to pick up
skill icons as you go along.
The game Is based on six
worlds each mapped out like a
maze and there are 60 levels in
total. To get to the end of a worldj
you have to negotiate your way
around the maze completing the
levels. Although it is possible to
get to the exit by completing
maybe just 80% of these if you
choose the right path, the ones
you miss might contain valuable
clues about completing later
ones. The amount of levels and
the increasing difficulty means
that this is not a fast game to fin-
ish. Add the possibility of infinite
custom levels and you have a lot
of game. A
well recom-
mended
purchase. M

O he aliens are a coming.
Lock up your wives,
your children, your pet
tortoise and hide. Or
you could try and stop the little
green men from taking over our
world, as we know it, by playing
ONAfrom Applaud Software. It's
sjrnple enough to do, it's sort of a
two-step with the aliens. You lake
your turn to tn^ and pulverise them
and they in return try to do the
same to you. Simple.
The idea of the game is to neu-
tralise each section on a grid.
You've got two characters at your
disposal: one human and an
andT£>id. Each one has their own
strengths and van,^ing statistics
which you can top up with points
accrued from each sector neu-
tralised. You can also increase
your players' abilities by implanti-
ng them with special skills that
you've cloned from any deceased
aliens. In this aspect
DNA is a bit like
Microprose's UFO.
And you've got a lab
where you analyse the
various genes that
you've picked up and
then decide if you
want to implant them
in your men.
DhiA is a game
which reciuires a lot of
tactics and advance
thinking, if you're to
avoid being totally anni
hi la ted. As the game progresses
you are informed of the difficulty
factor of each sector. One thing
that is frustrating about this game
is that one false. move and you
end up In a situation where you
die very rapidly. This normally hap-
pens when your weaker player
gets trapped by those annoying
cannon ball like weapons. Also as
your players ate linked, if the
weaker one dies they both die
instantly You can't predict either
where these cannon ball things
are going to move to as they spo-
radically fly about the screen and
hammers into which ever player ■.
decides to target, Unfortun- ately,
my human player always seemed
to die quickly no matter how
much I tried to build him up. I
also found it a bit annoying that
I'd managed to get a long way
into the game and then die with-
in seconds thanks to those mov-
ing cannon ball things, no matter
how much I'd tried to forearm
him. Even the quirky reloading^
phrases like 'groove factor five'
didn't manage to cheer me or
make me want to
plow through all the
sectors again. If you're
heavy on patience,
enjoy tactics and don't
mind trial and error
too much then try it if
not avoid. ■

Player Manager 2
Price: £16.99 ■ Publisher: Hit Squad CO 0161 832 6633
Oact in 1995 this
version of Player
Manager was very well
received. It had great
ancestry in one of the most pop-
ular footy management sims ever
and as an update it almost man-
aged the Linpossible-; a sequel
which does its predecessor
proud. Simiilar in stvje to On the
Ball and Audiogenic's Super
League Manager, you can
participate in the games you've
planned using the Kick Off 3
game engine included.
You start off in the second divi-
sion rather than the third, which
makes getting used to the routine
easier. So many games expect
you to manage upwards from the
third division, which can often be
difficult and off-putting. PM2 is
more accessible in this way.
There are IS teams from each of
the four divisions included and
you must create a team capable
of winning promotion to the
Premier League as well as joining
in the fun in Europe. Competition
is provided by three other man-
agers who can be
either connputer or
\ I human controlled.
As usual your tasks will
include training, dealing on the
transfer market, dealing with
sponsors and devising tactics
(PM2 has a great tactics editor),
Added realism is provided by the
appearance of Alan Hansen, but
as in real life, he can be a pain in
the neck at times.
The main management menu
is represented by a side cutaway
of the clubhouse building which
allows you to access the various
areas essential to the smooth run-
ning of the club. Inevitably much
action (if that is the right word)
takes place in the manager's
office where transfer deals and
player purchasing takes place.
Unfortunately P1VI2 is not the
most informative game in this
area and it can sometimes be
confusing just how much money
you're spending on players.
After the highlights of the man-
agement section actually playing
the game in the ICO engine is a bit
of a disappointment. It's not the
best arcade footy game by any
means. But at least using the
advanced tactical editor in the
management section you can
invent those wild plays you son"
times wish your favourite real lii-
team would adopt,
This is one to watch out for.
Anco subsequently produced an
AG A version with allegedly
improved graphics. They almost
ruined it with superiicial cosmet'c
stunts. This version ig much n-.; -.
worthwhile, and now cheaper too.
It falls in the middle between the
two pillars of footy games:
Sensible World Of Soccer and
Premier Managers.
Less fun but more manage-
ment than the formefj and less
stats and depth than thp; latter. If
you really like football manage-
ment it
won't dis-
appoint
though. ■ ^H' I

00 yOu haven't stepped
intp g time warp, And
lyings aren't so bad on
the Amiga games
scene that we're now randomly
picking out old gannes that we
Wiflfiwed months back. What am \
talking about? For those of you
■.'•(! don't remember, we reviewed
:"^ platform game back in April 95
when it was planned for release
f-on Grandslam, However,
."fortunately, it never saw the light
d day so now the creators of the
:rve , Ruffian Software have
:::;id&d to release it so we
thought it worth a second look.
I'm glad that we are going to
eventually see Ruffian in shops.
Not because there is little software
out there (well that helps) but
because Ruffian is a good game.
tn my original review I said the only
real thing that grated on my nerves
was the music and I'm glad to say
that this has been sorted out and it
is not nearly as offensive now.
Another change is that your little
cheeky little hero no longer moons
at you when he gets bored,
though I kinda miss that.
Apart from those changes the
game is the more or less the same
as the original. Set in the jungSe
you've got a set time limit and
energy levels as you leap from
branch to branch and explore the
hidden depths of the jungle in your
aim to free the trapped pixies in
that level.
Freeing the pixies is not a very
dignified affair Instead of walking
up to them and
releasing them
somehow
from the
bubble-like
substance
they are
trapped in
you've got to gob
at them instead. In
these days of safe sex I
don't know if that much exchange
of bodily fluids is advisable but it's
all for a good cause.
Ruffian can be tricky in places
and as the game progresses, it
becomes harder. You get more and
more pixies to free and the places
that they are hidden in become
more difficult to access. You got to
use a bit of forward thinking for
these harder levels. For example,
in some places you can use falling
monkeys to catapult you to diffi-
cult-to-reach platforms. You also
get a little help if you want to in
the shape of 'helping
hands' which point you in
the direction of any unfreed
pixies and exits. Extra energy
and spirting power points are
available in the shape of various
assorted fruits and potions. Luckily
there is also a password system
so you don't have to go through
the easier levels once you've com-
pleted them,
In alL Ruffian is still a good
game. It's hard in place -but it
playable. Platform fans won't be
disappointed and neither will any-
one else

GAME TIPS
I've been
searching
through my
mailbag
for some things
to tempt you
with. Here
are the tastier
ones. Enjoy.
The Secret of
Monkey Island
I can't open the sealed trjnks in
Ihe hold on the ship to Monkey
Island. I used the rope as a fuse
on the cannort and used the gun-
powder in the nozzle but nothiing
happened. I know that I can use
the pot fronn the kitchen as a hel-
■^-■jt, so I can be fired off this ship
-.0 another one, but when does
another ship pass by?
Thomas Rutherford, Kirkcatdv-
The reason yau can't open thf :siakd
fruni.s is because they are Mated!
And the reason you caa't hiasl your-
itlfitff one ship onto another h
becauae it'n .Vlonkey Island that y&u
vast to be blasted onto. Here is the
compleie setfuence tti g?t ^ff the ship,
Gft tht Jolly Roger /lag from the
\mast. Go down itttit the hold, get the
\ mpe, open the che.it and then take
tit vine. Get thi ftunpoy^der then go
IP tkt galley and get the pot. Open

Open thf cereal and take the prizie.
Go to your cabin and get the ink,

rtcipe and cinnamon uticka. Ga to the
galley and me the cinnamon sticks,

the business card which you got from
Stan on the fire. Pick up mote gun-
powder then return to the upper deck,
m&nkey Island wfU now he in sight
and you can fvc up the cannon to
blast yourself off the ship.
Simon the
How do you get on top of the
Dragon's Cave?
Colin Lowery, Dublin.
Very quietly I would think, because
you don't want to wake him. Before
you go climbing anyn'here use the
cold remedy on him to make sure he
is fast asleep. You can pick up this
handy medicine from the Druid's
house. Once the dragon is dozing,
grab the fire extinguisher and leave.
Outside the cave you can combine
the rope from the Blacksmith \ Forge
with the hook from the Afintt Noiv
use the h(Nfk on the boulder at the top
of cave entrance to climb up.
Operation
Stealth
My girlfriend and I have been
thrown overboard with racks tied
to out feet- How do I escape?
R. Eatas, Sheffiefd.
That's typical,* You wattt to knov how
you' can escape. What about the
poor girl? Well the anstver depends
on how confident you are about
yourself I mean, would you feel a
sissy wearing a bracelet? If you are
worried about it. Just remember that
you are supposed to be an incredibly
sexy secret agent and no one will
think anything of il.
Provided that when yoa changed
your dollars into the local currency
you remembered to do the action
twice, you should have enough
money to buy a bracelet from the guy
on the beach. Wear the bracelet, then
just before yttu are chucked over-
board you muat 'Operate' the
bracelet. Once you are in the water,
wait until you almost reach the ocean
bed, then 'Operate' the bracelet
again to free yourself . Swim towards
the girl and 'Operate Girl' to free
her. Whether you're really sexy or
not, somehow I don 'l think sheUl be
ia a hurry to go out with you again.
Future Wars
To try and escape frOfn the prison
I used the key to remove the grille
but I don't know what to do next,
In my inventon^ I have; a lance,
newspaper, blowtorch and docu-
ments. Am I missing anything?
Mark Cosgrove, Neath.
Yes. This part of the game always
stumps players, because the answer is
really unfair. What you are missing is
a gas grenade which is nearly impos-
sible to find. Do you remember when
you rescued the fair damsel from the
glasi dome she was imprisoned in?
The grenade is to the right of the
glass cylinder. Once you have it, you
can put the grenade through the
grille and then cover the hatch with
the newspaper to prevent the gas
seeping hack into your celL
Police Quest III
1 have recently phoned the Sierra
automatic helpline for help with
Police Quest III, Day 4. It said that
I had to get a note (fnjm my mes-
sage basket) to go to court, but I
don't receive such a note, ir>3tead
I have to go straight to the murder
scene. It also said that I have to
get a tracking device from the
technician AND it said that I have
to see iVIsrie at the end of the day,
but the game takes me straight
home after Morafes has made a
phone call.
Is there someone that 1 need to
talk to, or something I need to do
in one of the earlier days''
Adam Noort, Thorngumbald.
/ have double checked the solution
and Sierra are correct. As most guys
don't know what day of the week it is,
shall we double check with you? Day
two began with the boss ringing you
at home. Day three Ifegan with you at
home, then going to work in the
Homicide Office. You pick up a
memo from your basket which has
the address 325 South Second Street
on it. You ended the day at Oak Tree
Mall and then you went back to the
station, then home.
Day four begins at home, then
you leave the house and go to the sta*
tion. Go to the Homicide Office and
there is a note on your desk. It is a
court summons. Take the note, then
go to the third floor where you can
pick up a tracking device from the
Mead Technician, You '11 note that my
solution says that the note is on the
desk and not in your message tray, I
can't recall if I specified the desk
deliberately, or if I meant the mes-
sage tray, but lake it from me, that
message is somewhere on that desk.
Monkey Island II
How do I got the monkey from
the bar? I've tried offering the
monkey nny banana, but the bar-
keeper tells me to get lost,
David E Nanus., Borehomwood.
What a lousy technique for picking up
people in bars. It's easy really. You
simply attach your banana to the
metronome and as it ticks from side to
side the monkey will watch it until it
becomes hypnotised. You'U now be
able to pick it up and take it home
with you. B

Graftgold
Matthew Betshaw from Lowestoft
has discovered a hidden goody in
tills excellent Graftgold classic.
On Green Run {level 2} go to the
top of the slope and use a
snowflake (ie down and fire). Tfiis
will feveal a staircase made up
from blocks marked with a ques-
tion mark. Climb this and, at the
top, jump straight up to get
warped to a further stage, Try this
in other levels as somehow (don't
ask me how folks!) you'll find
yourself with infinite lives! What
an excellent cheat! Ta mate.
MOFTTAL
KOMBAT 2
Acclaim
Marcelino Salcedo of The
Netherlands (gosh we go all over
the place, don't we?) has a nifty
little code to remind us about that
accesses a diagnostics screen
that allows vou to choose oppo-
nents, change time, and,., well,
tons of things really! Just go to
the options menu and type the
code ZEDWEB. If the cheat
doesn't work first time, just keep
entering ZEDWEB. Ace!
Millennium
Ah, now here's a game that wast-
ed many a happy [if pointless)
hour! Well Adam Shailer has a
decent little cheat that aHows you ■
to collect tons of jeweis without
having to go anywhere! Dig a tun-
nel horizontally at least five
squares across. Mow dig down
one square, then up diagonally
until you're back on the level of
your original tunnel. Now dig
down the SMALLER part of the
slope to remove it (you should
end up with something that looks
like a castle's battlements (you
know, ramparts, that sort of thing)
any\.va¥ .., you can now place a
digger inside these 'trenches' and
get them to dig diagonally up
in the direction of the slope.
They won't actually go anywhere,
but will keep digging, miraculous-
ly finding jewels regularly!
Crazy, huh?
FRONTIER
Gam«t9k
Mot really a cheat, just some
damn good advice from 'Mr Nice
Guy' of Herefordshire.
Trv this: Start at Lave and buy
a Viper Defence craft, along with
a beam laser from upgrades.
Also buy an automatic pilot, four
homing missiles and atmospheric
shielding. Now ask f5ermission
for launching (and don't forget
some fuel]),. Your objective is
Zaonce, but don't go there yet.
Jump to Tionisia and THEN on to
Zaonce. Head for the planet
Industry, go to the space station,
and check out upgrades. You'll
find that you're in a pretty tasty
position to progress further
(you'll see what I mean when you
get there!}

Another cheat from Tobias
comes in the form of a cheat of
sorts that allows you to build up
a bit of ammo supply without too
much effort. When the game has
first loaded, collect bDth ammo
boxes in the first room and then
press the Esc key Select to 'Play
Game' again and repeat the
process until you've clocked up
enough ammo to complete the
(eve! without running too low.
Handy, non?
CIVILISATION
IMicrciProse
An excellent discovery by Raul
Hendrikx from The Metherlands
(again!) means that you can now
design your own worlds using a
package like DPaint V! Load
into DPaint a file from the
Civilisation directory called
'CIVMAPIbm'. You'll see a map of
Earth in the left comer so save
this somewhere else. Now you
can draw your own world using
the fo) I owing colour sequence:
Light green = Grassland
Light blue = Jungle
Dark biu« = Oceans
Brown = Plains
Purple = Mountains
Whit^ = Arctic
Dark greon = F-oreat
Medium btue = River
Yellow = D^aert
Red = Hills
Grey = Tundra
At»o: if you save your game
before entering 'an advanced
tribe' you can load it again if bar
bariafis come' out or if you want a
new city, unit, or new invention
Cool or what. ■

©very one needs a file
manager, or so it
seems. While in theory
the more tecliiriicallY-
minded should be happy with the
Shell, with Worlcbench being the
choice for those who want the
easy option, in practice it doesn't
always work like that. Quite often
neither option has both the imme-
diacy and the power to get the job
done quickly and easily. A good file
manager makes light work of tasks
that would othenA/ise require
lengthy Shell commands, or be
awkward or even impossible to do
with the Worfcbench.
Programs such as CLImate and
StD pioneered the file manager
theme in the Amiga's early days,
but it wasn't long before Directory
Opus appeared and promptly -left
them for dust. Ever since.
Directory Opus has been a regular
fixture on just about every serious
Amiga user's hard drive,
All change
When version 5.0 lappeared in early
1995 it took a major detour from
the established file manager
format. Previously file managers
consisted of two fixed-position
'listers' and a bank of function but-
tons. Opus 5 threw the whole
thing wide open with windows and
button banks that couSd be moved.

Workbench replacement.
Breaking away from its familiar
format gave it freedom to
introduce a range bf powerful new
features but also had the side
effect qf alienating some existing
opus fanSr since it was no longer
as simple to use in its default set
gp. Since then GP Software have
had time to digest the reactions
from its worldwide userbase and
take Opus on to the next stage.
Gadgets galore
If you never used version 5 you
could be forgiven for thinking
you'd loaded up the wrong soft-
ware. In contrast to version 4 and
beiow, 5.5 starts up with a worry-
ingty empty screen. During the
installation process you are given
countless configuration choices,
which include the option to copy
all the 'left out' drive icons from
your Workbench onto the OpuS
screen, If you do choose to do so,
you end up with a Opus screen
LhiiL looks and acts remarkably like
Workbench itself, Double clicking
an icon opens a window, but
unlike Workbench, the window
takes the form of a lister contain-
ing a sorted directory of the drive.
An icon strip runs along the top
each lister. These icons are used to
process any selected files in that
lister. The icons include functions
for Select All Files, Select By
Pattern, New Drawer, Copy. Move,
Rename, Move with Rename,
Delete. Edit, View, Play anid more.
Above the icon strip is a M Jl-style
menu launcher which can be used
as an alternative selection method
for the icon functions, along with a
few more to boot. These are dupli-
cated on the button bank which
also houses some of the more
advanced functions such as archive
extraction and file searches.
Seems familiar
There's a strdnge fanniliarity about
Opus 5.5 that creeps up on you
aimost subconsciously While at
first it might seem a bit over com-
plicated and disorganised, before
long St all starts to make sense. It
takes elements of the Workbench,
such as drive icons and the facility
to drag and drop files from here to
there, alongside the button banks
and listers of old.
If you move the pointer to an
empty part of the Opus screen an
double click on the background, a
new lister opens up right there,
containing a list of all currently
mounted drives and assigns for
your selection. The ability to have
more than two listers open at oncej
introduces a complication that
never occurs on a simple duaHisr
ter file manager. It's no longer a
case of one window acting as a
source and the other as the desti-
nation. Now each lister can be
defined as a source or a destina-

Internet FTP Module
One of th« most useful new featureis in Opus 5.5 is the FTP
mofluk. This allows you to hook up to an FTP site via the
Internet (assuming you have a TCP/IP s^tack up antt running)
and access it from a normal Opus lister. This makes light
worh of downloading fiJEis. You can even have a number of
FTP listers open at the same tjmie, all downloading or
uploading specified files at tfie same time.
multiple sources and multiple des-
tinations. For example, you could
sdect a bunch of files from various
dfives and copy thenn all to one or
more new locations in a single
click of the Copy button.
However, copying fiSes 15 just
th« lip of the iceberg. Opus &.5 is
packed full of configuration
options, allowing the system to be
customised beyond all recognition.
Ocice ARexx is brought into the
equation it becomes a highly flexi-
tJle and powerful tool, capable of
addpitng to all kinds of specialist
jobs. Knocking up atitomstcd func-
tions and scripts to be launched "^^
from the button bank should pre-
sent few problems for Shell -heads
or anyone with a good understand-
ing of ARexx. The menus are laden
with one option after amothef to let
you change this, add that or
remove somethirig else.
Twicfdly
Frankly, if you want something
that's going to rviake your life
easier vyhen it comes to simple
work-a-day jobs, you'll probably
find this all too much to take in.
Maybe GP Software could have
renanned it when it got to version
5.0 to reflect tfie many changes
and additions. Using Opus 5.5 to
simply shovel a few files around
is like using g combine harvester
to mow the lawn,
My mai'n criticism of the pro-
gram is that it's not easier to use
right f ronn the start. It would be
nice if it was simpler to select
one of a few basic set-ups and
screen layouts before you dive
into the menus and start twid-
dling all the knobs.
For those witli the incft nation
to set up a throbbing mufti-
faceted file processing system.
Opus 5,5 is a godsend. The FTP
features are excellent and will
probably be the most popular of
the new additions. Obviously any
seasoned users of version 5,0
won't have the rather sleep learn-
ing curve to deal with, so in that

case it's really a matter of figur-
ing out which of the new fea-
tures to use. Those with an
extremely good memory will
recall we rated version 5.0 at a
big fat 'go buy it now' kind of
95% mark.
For the sake of continuity we
could match that score here, but
that v/ould be the easy option. It's
not perfect, it won't be to every-
one's taste, but in the right hands
It's an incredibly powerful tool,
But Is it Opus?
This is the big question for nnany
Opus users. Should it ever have
been developed to this degree of
compfexity? On the one hand you
can enter commands dirfectly into
the Shell if you want 'quick and
dirty' control over your files, and
if you want simple file shovelling,
there's Opus 4 and a handful of
other similarly capable file man-
agers available from the public
domain. Sometimes it seems the
effort required to set-up Opus 5.5
for specific tasks coufd be better
spent writing your own DOS
scripts or jacking straight into
the Shell. Re-configuring previ-
ous versions of Opus was a fairly
straight forward aflfair, but
things have a tendency to get
rather complicated when you dig
into the main power features of
Opus 5.5.
Directory Opus 5.5 is without
doubt a very powerful system
but it's not necessarily going to
be what every Opus user wants

PRODUCT TfSr
■ Price: £400 ■ Developer and Supplier: Petsoff
(see box out for contact details)
A new sound card has arrived with its
own onboard 2 4- bit DSP chip. Could it
be the ultimate audio upgrade?
0ack in the April 96
issue- of CU Amiga
Magazine we reviewed
the Toccata from
MacroSysiem, a fairly simple
16-bit stereo record and replay
systerr on a Zorro card, which
uve rated at 82%, Until now that's
been one of the very few avail-
able options for those looking to
upgrade from the Amiga's B-bit
audio limitations.
Now, from the land that
brought you OctaMED (that's
Finland by the way) comes a new
sound card with better specs
than ever,
24-bit DSP
Whertjas Toccata could sample
and replay 16-bit stereo samples,
Oelfina goes one better by
adding a DSP chip to the equa-
tion. The star of the show is the
Motorola digital
signal processor
which sits bang
in the middle of
the card, happily
processing a
continuous
stream of stereo
sound with 24-bit
bandwidth in realtime, It would
Sfi'Sm that the main aim of
Deifina is to act as a realtime
effects processor, but that's not
all it can do. Aside from the DSP
functions, ttie AD/DA con^ertor
can be used to sample and
replay 16-bi1 stereo sound.
Although there's no sampling
software as such, the output of
the effects processing software
can be routed to a file, which will
result in a sample. Likewise the
input can be switched to a file in
order to replay a sample.

On a
more practical level,
Delfina can be used as a 16 bit
stereo output for use with
OctaMED SoundStudio, the MIDI
sequencer Dominator (a non-
Mi Dl version of which comes
with Delfina) and as an output for
any other audio software which
supports the relatively new AHI
retargetable audio system.
Two pairs of stereo RCA phono
sockets are mounted on the back
plate for line level input and out-
put. There's also a 1/4 inch jack
socket which can be switched
between line and mic level input,
plus Slereo mini jack socket for
headphones output. An addition-
al plate cen be attached to the
card which offers alternative par-
allel and serial ports. There's cur-
rently no driver available for the
parallel port, although this is
under development and should
be released soon,
A driver for the serial port is
supplied, enabling you to use
this instead of the Amiga's slow
built-in serial port, allowing faster
access tim,es from serial devices,
particularly modems.

an output, then
run the DelFX
software too,
DelFX would fail to
run and displays
'Cannot allocate
Delfina' message.
However, you could
run the DelFX soft-
ware in conjunction
with a MIDI
sequencer, or even a
tracker using standard Amiga
'samples and feed any or all of "
those sounds through the Delfina
effects. Because the effects pro-
cessing is carried out by the DSP
rather than the Amiga's CPU, this
should be quite feasible even on
the slowest An^igas,
Using the direct to disk record-
ing options of SoundStudio, you
could also use Delfina to add
effects to previously recorded
loops from hard drive, which
could then be used to build up a
new module.
This would have the advantage
of allowing you to process specif-
ic parts independently, and also
the resulting module would use
fewer tracks, which would mean
you could probably use the
'smoothing' option in realtime to
remove the bulk of the mixing
noise [see the SoundStudio
review in the September 96
issue of CU Amiga Magazine for
more details).
Sampling
This is the first sampler or sound
card I've seen that doesn't come
with some kind of sampling and
sample editing software, Petsoff
PRODUCT TEST
Delfina FX
The Delfina hardware comes complete with its
owfi realtime effects software. This is a very neat
little MUI application thgt gives vou sccess to five
main types of effects, plus a rtoise gate and a
dry/wet balance control to adjust the relative
amount of the original and the affected sound.
Each effect has its own collection of windows
containing the relevant sliders and controls. A
selection of effects settir^gs are supplied with the
software, including ej<ample set-ups for echo, cho-
rus, distortion and flange effects. You're free to
save out your own settings too, which for exampte
could be especially handy for storing time-critical
delays for use with specific projects.
Although the effects work in stereo, in that
both left and right channels are processed and
passed to the left and right outpiJts, you don't get
independent processing, for each channel, nor is
there any cross talk between the channels, so
what you get is a dual monophonic output from
the effects chain, which is then mixed with the
trtie stereo sound coming from the pass-through.
That means you can't use the effects to add
stereo movement and ping-pong effects to either
a stereo or a mono sound source, which is a little
disappointing. Maybe this will be addressed in
tutu re revisions of the DelFX software.
The effect types available are compression,
distortion, delay, phase r and equaliser. The
signal is passed through any or all of these in that
order, with the noise gate sitting at the front of
tlie chain. Let's take a closer look at how they
all work.
Noise Q&tB. This mutes the input of the card
when there's no incoming sound or when the
incoming volume level is below a specified figure,.
This is designed to stop interference being picked
up and passed through the effects
stient parts of the incoming signal,
Compressionp Although the documents call this
effect compression it's really limitation. It prevents
the 'clipping' distortion that would occur if the
input was too loud, (t does this by scaling down
the sound wave before it's passed onto the rest of
the effects. Fulf compression also does the oppo-
site, scaling up quiet parts of the sound to fit the
available headroom, but this is not available here.
Distortion. Designed to add grit and fuzz to
sounds, the distortion effect reverses the good
work of compressor by amplifying the sound to
clipping point. It also uses an unlinear amplifier,
which is a more compfex type of amplification that
injects more character into the effect.
Delay. This (s where most of the work is done on
reverb and echo effects, The time between the
echoes can be altered from very slight (for
Robocop speech) to very long, There's also a feed-
back slider which controls how much of the echo
is passed back through the delay,
Phsssr. By merging two copies of the same
sound, offset from one another at constantly vary-
ing degrees, the phaser can create a wide range
of effects from subtle 'whooshing' movements to
fat choruses to sub-aqua wibbles.
This is the most entertaining of all the
effects when you're just messing around and has
seemingly endless possibilities available from
its stiders.
Equali^ar, Featuring ten frequency bands rar^ging
from 34Hz to 17415Hz, the graphic equaliser is a
very useful addition. The sound can be given up to
14dB of cut or boost in any or all of the frequency
bands. It works just liUte a normal graphic equaliser
but can be more precise than analogue versions.

could have put more time into

'■■■■■ ■ main priority at this stage
was actually getting the hardware
into production and on sale. Even
so, il seems a strange omission.
As it is. the only way to take sam-
ples with the card is by selecting
a file as the output path on the
DelFX software. To trim and
process the sample you then
need to load it into a separate 16-
bit sample editor that supports
Delfina output. It's hardly the
complete solution for 16-bit audio
is it? Presumably a proper sample
editor will be made available
before too long. Some hard disk
recording and editing features
would be good too.
Aside from these omissions,
the card is fairly well supported
on the software side considering
it's such a new product. If any of
the uses suggested here seem to
match your requirements then
you're sorted.
audio trickery with the currently
aivailable software, I can't help
feeling than it's got a lot more
potential that is on actually show
at the moment. With the fight
software it could do a lot more.
How about multi-track hard disk
recording with reaftime 24- bit
effects? Or maybe you fancy run-
ning a multi-channel SoundStudio
module out in 16-bit stereo with
selected parts sent to your own
tailor made effects via the DSR in
realtime of course? However,

before we get carried aw'ey
with wishes for the future, it's
worth remembering what it can
do now, which is quite a lot
(not forgetting the parallel and
serial ports}.
Priced at £400, Delfina comes
in at £100 more than its nearest
rival Toccata, but whife Toccata
has already been taken to its lim-
its by the likes of SoundStudio,
Delfina still has plenty of poten-
tial left in it thanks to tfie DSP
As it stands the Delfina will
certainly be the answer to many
a musician's dream, but it's not
yet the perfect answer to every-
one's audio ambitions. However,
with a killer application or two
it could really start to shift in
large numbers and break into
the mainstream. We'll see
what happens. ■

Looking to expand your storage options? Need a
CD, more than one hard drive and your PCiVICIA
elot free? How about a four^way IDE interface ...
Ohe beauty of having an
IDE interface as stan-
dard on your A1 200 or
A4000 is that you can
stoke up your machine with the
cheapest CD-ROM and hard drives
available, Things can get a bit
tricky with an A1200 when it
comes to power supplies and the
practicalities of actually fitting
these drives but it's possible and
it's ctieap. However, you're normal-
ly limited to just two devices run-
ning -from the IDE interface, which
for many situations is just not suffi-
cient. The Alfa Quatro brushes this
limitation aside, allowing the
connection of up to four IDE drives
from the one interface.
Tfijs version of the Alfa Quatro
(currently the only one available)
has been designed primarily for
use with the A4000, although with
a little enterprise it can be used
with the A1200 too, ar^d with the
A500 and A500+ if an Alfa power
hard drive is present. Once you've
paid your £59 and operied the box
you might be a little disappoir^ted
at what looks like ven^ little for
your money: three IDE cables,
three IDE connectors mounted on
a small piece of circuit board, an
installation disk and a tew
instruction notes.
Nevertheless, remind
yourself of how much
you might pay an alterna-
tive SCSI expansion system,
including a SCSI interface and the
more expensive drives.
Do it yourself
Reflecting the many different types
of Amiga in use today and the
adventurous DIY approach of
many users, the Alfa Quatro sys-
tem makes few assumptions
about your system. This has good
and bad sides. You're only supplied
with and charged for the minimum
parts required to do the
lob, the flipside of which is that in
some cases you'll need to make
extra purchases and modifications
to fit your machine. The installation
software is a fully registered ver-
sion of IDE Fix, an excellent and
highly configurable IDE hard drive
and CD-ROM file system package.
Setting it up on an A4000 is a
simple matter. The shorter of the
three IDE cables plugs into the IDE
connector on the motherboard,

are then attached to the rennaining
connectors on the card, Each of
these two cables can be plugged

a bit of fiddling around before
rything works in harnnony,
allliough newer drives tend to be
"ore clearly labelied.
The software installation is a
breeze. Whether you pick the
expert or novice option, the stages
ar^ explained in plain terms which
makes it easy to configure every-
thing precisely to your systenn. The
software you get is the full IDE Bx
system, not a disabled or time-lim-
ited version. With a simple addition
to your startup-sequence you'll be
up and running in no time.
Complications
While this isn't sold as a complete
four-way IDE solution for A12O0
users, it's still possible to use it at
least as a three-way interface. For
:-ome reasor^ the A1200 doesn't
-isem to fike working with four
devices from the AJfa Qgatro, but
three get along fine together, If
you intend using this with an
Al 200 you'll need to specify this
when you order as a 2.5 inch to
3,5 inch cable is required to con-
nect to the A1200''s snnaller IDE
interface. The cables can be
passed out through the blank
expansion port at the back of the
computer by the floppy drive. The
next hurdle will be powering your
external drives (external meaning:
outside the case of your Amiga) -
you could use bare internal
drives so long as you can power
them. Golden Image can supply
boxes with power supplies for
your drives. In our tests with the
A1200 we used externally-placed
internal drives powered from a
Micro niK external power supply
which now seems to be very hard
to get hold of. Golden Image also
offer a powered PC tower casing
option for extra drives.
Conclusion
This is jus! the kind of little widget
that has kept the Amiga a viable
platform for many users, and it's
bound to solve many people's
storage and CD problems in a
single hit. If you're reaching the
limits of your current storage
capacity but don't fancy ditching
your drives for totally new ones,
this is the perfect solution. Ifou

mind a bit of jiggery pokery with
cables and drives, this is very
highly recommended. 9

AWeb was born at a time when
the onl^ a\/ailable browsers were
AMosaic and an earlv demo
version oi I Browse. Both of tlhese
suffered unexplained crashes to
the point of infamy. The sojrce of
these breakdowns was generally
perceived as beinig MUl's (Magic
User Interface) fault as much as
the browsers themselves as the
the earlier versions of MUl
considerably slowed down the
performance of AMosaic especial-
ly on unaccelerated mactiines. A.5
a result of this a Dutch prograrr-
mer called Yvon Rozijn created
AWeb, designing it to be the
Amiga's first graphical
MUl-less browser (incidental ly, if
you're not after graphics then you
could try ALvnj<, which doesn't
us© MUl either).
AWeb has now been devel-
oped through several generations
and was originally a shareware
product but AmiTrJy have
recently released the latest ver-
sion called AWeb-il in a bundle
containing the browser and some
support software,
Compared to MUl browsers,
AWeb's GUI (Graphic User
Interface, or front end) looks
extremely basic and that criticism
also includes the navigation
buttons for forwards, backwards
and reload etc. Fortunately
support for custom images on the
navigation buttons is included so
you can ditcfi the standard ones
and either save your own versions
if you prefer or try some of tlie
additional text or coloured buttons
supplied with the pack,
AWeb uses the Amiga's
datatypes to decode in-line
images, similar to other Amiga
browsers. This means the
pictures must be totally down-
loaded before they are decoded
and displayed. It also means that
an AWeb user will have to ensure
he/she is well up to date with the
latest GIF and JPEG datatypes.
Also AWeb takes the unusual
approach of caching the raw
image data after the GiFs/JPEGs
have been decoded. The advan-
tage of this is that navigating
through previously downloaded
pages is lightning fast, the disad-
vantage is that it takes up a lot of
disk space.
One at a time
Unfortunately AWeb doesn't let
the datatypes decode all images
at the sanne time. It does each
one separately which means the
IBrowse 1 .0

Email:sales@hisoft.co>iik
IBrowse has had an interesting
evolution. Its authors,
Omnipresence, (there are seven
of them) conspired in the past to
port NSCA's Mosaic to the
Amiga, the first professional web
browser available for Amiga.
Unfortunately it rapidly attained
notoriety for its crash prone
nature. IBrowse is the
Omnipresence group's progres-
sion from Mosaic and it was built
from the outset as an Amiga onlly
browser as opposed to a port.
There have been beta demo
versions of IBrowse available on
y^^^
the Net for some time
now, as development
has progressed. All of
these have been time-
limited so it was only
possible to test them
for a short period. But
now, at last, IBrowse
1 .0 has been released
and is being distrib-
uted in the UK by
His oft. And you'll be
interested to know
that It's the most
advanced browser
available on the Amiga
at this time. Like
Mosaic, the betas of
IBrowse also had problems with
stability, but these problems
seem to have been ironed to a
degree. I say 'to a degree',
because ft's by no means as rock
solid as AWeb - I still discovered
some random trashing of memo-
*■ Dni<ii|ire5€iice \\»it wtrkini a lang lime tA (leitacl IBr»i¥s«. Alilt«i|h

ry (enforcer hits) and gurus on
trying to decode corrupt GIFs
(though GIFs shouldn't be corrupt
in the first place!) with the inter-
nal decoder. It also often crashes
on exiting the package
while cleaning up its
on-disk cache. The
authors know about
the latter problem and
it should be fixed by
:he time you read this
review. However, it's
annoying that after all
■his time there are still
blips to be sorted out.
Decoders
Unlike every other
Amiga browser,
'Browse doesn't use
datatypes as standard.
Though it has the
option if it's desired.
n stead it has its own
GIF and JPEG
decoders built-in.
What's the point of
this? You might well
ask and the answer is that once
IBrowse has downloaded the
actual HTML document, it looks
at the IMG height and width tags

reason the one-at-a-
time practice of image
decoding
may be
oecause it
allows
AWeb the
luxury of not
I leaving to
refresh the
entire dis-
. ay ail the tinne. This
IS smoother and much
easier on the eye than
Voyager's constant
annoying refreshes.
Originally AWeb's tal-
ents at rendering Web
pages left something
to be desired. Now
with AWeb 2.1, things
palettes of the images are no-
where near as ■good as you would
enpect from, say. Voyager.
However, AWeb now lays out the
page according the image height
"■'""'■ .vidth tags which means the
:^^c doesn't need to refresh as
each image i& loaded, Part of the
are much better
because of vast improvements in
the justification/ alignment of
images and text. Support for
'tables' has also been added
which is a powerful HTML feature
increasingly used on the Web.
Unfortunately though there's still
no proper 'frames' support.
Instead AWeb displays links at the
top of the pages you cart view
each individual frame separately.
FTP support isn't built in either
but is provided as an add-on in
the package in the form of the
PD FTP Mount. However, AWeb
has another PD utility to save out
VWVW page.s as text which
works adequately but I'd be hap-
pier if these were built into the
browser Unfortunately, it's neces-
sary to set up a few of the esfter-
nal programs for Mai I -To:
operation, text editing, HTML
source viewing etc. as the
defaults will rarely be of use.
AWeb needs many of those
functions irtduded inlernally
as standard.
Nice stats
The speed AWeb retrieves pages
at is very good and it's adept at
opening multiple connections to a
web site to download in-line
images in parallel, making the
best use of available bandwidth.
Another nice touch is a net-
work statistics window which.
the best progress display I've
seen on any browser - watching
it keeps you happily entertained
and amused during the down-
loading phase.
The preferences aspect of
AWeb is handled better than the
previous versions too, with sepa-
rate pages being divided into
browser, program, network and
CI ass Act settings. The latter is the
GUI System AWeb uses which
can be loosely described as a
poor man's fvlUL Unlike fs^UI
browsers. AWeb can be told to
open on its own screen very
quickly from inside the settings.
Options such as the on-disk
cache, proxies and other technical
whiz bits are also easily set up.
Cache flushing is easy to reach
via a menu of its own, as is
C^ttiimii grvefJCli ^ ^ ^
and places a box frame where
Ihe pictures should be. AWeb
does the same. This is before the
pictures are loaded so the layout
is identical to the end product
minus the pictures.
This makes for very easy
.'eading with no text rewrapping
ifi the middle of picture down-
loading. The boxes are filled in by
tfie pictures 'progressively' as
they are downloaded. If you're
lucky enough to be viewing a site
with special interlaces or progres-
sively saved GIFs/JPEGs then the
pictures will actually resolve from
a very low resolution progressive-
ly land quickly) to a higher
resolution until finally they are fin-
ished loading. However, one of
tfie major reasons this system
was invented in the first place
was to avoid unnecessary screen
refreshes as the display is altered
to fit the pictures. IBrowse
totally misses this point and
refreshes the screen annoyingly
anyway. After AWeb's clarity this
oecomes tiring.
Tables support
Like AWeb IBrowse supports
tables though sadly not frames.
Tables are a nice feature of HTML
which allows text to be laid out in
columns boxed out inlhe display
It makes for superb page desigrt
and browsers which can't support
tables have a serious problem as
they cannot display many fancy
commercial sites-
Frames support St ilf doesn't
ex.ist but as with AWeb smalf links
are made to display the contents
of each of the frames in turn. The
IBrowse authors have informed
me that frames support is indeed
coming and it would be relatively
easy to implement under the MUI
system. What's more, Usenet
news reading would be imple-
mented at the same time so that
the separate frames could control
the news reader in the same way
as the PC's Netscape does-
I Browse is not only a MUl
application, it's an incredibly
advanced MUl application and it
comes as standard with MUl 3.5
bundled. This version has actually
been created based on collabora-
tion between Omnipresence and
MUl's author.
The navigation buttons can be
the image type, or text and can
Coming into focus
One of I Browse's great featuras is its
capability to load images progressivelv- This
means that as they download they are
shown in ever increasing resotution. This far
more pleasing to the eve than staring at a
blank screen until the image is fully loaded.
PROOyCT TEST
images automatically to loading
manually which many people pre-
fer to enable fast navigatson
around the Net,
AWeb has good bookmark sup-
port which adds links from your
favourite pages to a special
hottists page for fast renavigation
to favourite sites, It also has a
very hardy option which brings up
a list of most of the common Weh
searchers and allows you to exe-
cute a search without bothering to
go to the sites themselves,
Amiga friendly
A mflfor advantage ot AWeb is
that since AWeb doesn't use MUl
it can be light on memon^
resources. When used with
AmiTCP (Miami is an MUl
application), it would allow a basic
2Mb machine to get on-line with-
out too much difficulty However,
it's going to be slow and not very
colourful as greater colour depths
will require more than ZMb,
Surprisingly, AWeb actually
incorporates a print function that
performs a graphical dump of the
page currently being displayed. To
my knowledge this is the only
Amiga browser to do this and it's
a most welcome addition. There's
even an option to turn off printing
of any background images to
make the te»ct much easier to read.
Unlike I Browse, AWeb chooses
to sport its documentation on disk
in the form of HTML pages whicfi
can always be accessed by press-
ing the Help key. The quality of
the documentation is superb with
a main index and several cross-
referenced links. I would have
liked to have seen some in-line
images showing the various
aspects in play within the docu-
ment but such as it is, there's lit-
tle to fault the superb on-line help.

even be relocated to the side of
the page by simply dragging the
entire button bank! This is a
superb feature as screens are
always wider than web pages so
no vertical space is wasted on
navigation buttons. Once I had
made use of this feature and
moved the buttons to the side of
the screen, I wondered how I got
along without it before.
Email and FTP facilities are
built in to IBrowse, If they're set
up correctly (which is quick and
easy) in the lovely MUl
preferences pages then they can
be forgotten about from then on,
No need to write a
script to drive your
own Email client.
IBrowse even has a
built in cache-browser
like the freeware
Voyager but it's
activated from within
IBrowse, Here you
can scan back though
all the previously
downfoad pages and
pictures, select view
lind copy them to
use elsewhere.
IBrowse supports Client Side
Image Maps though sadly only
the RECT shape. Again see the
Wired World tutorial on this sub-
ject last month. I was told the
authors would 'look into' imple-
menting fult CSIM support soon.
It also supports AnimGlFs and
again is the only browser to do
so. This facility is another major
feature which has increasing sup-
port in WVWV land so that with-
out this facility much will be
missed from modern web sites.
See the Wired World tutorial this
month on AnimGlFs for more.
There's another nice IBrowse
feature in a magic menu-like
behaviour when using the right
mouse button with the mouse
inside the HTML page. You could
selectively load the image in (if
loading of images wasn't set on
automatic). It could be copied
elsewhere, If it was a link, a link
may be added hotlink added via
Browse's superb hot-link manag-
er. It's even possible to select the
link and launch a new IBrowse
window at the link while the origi-
nal page stays where it is. This is
truly gorgeousi
Memory usage
IBrowse is one hell of a browser.
However it's heavy dependence
on MUl makes it impossible to
run in 2Mb of memory. One
aspect of MUl which is often
overlooked by the memory con-
scious is that once the coie
libraries are loaded, they are
shared by the various MUl
clients. Using an Internet set-up
based on MUl applications such
as IBrowse, YAM, AmFTR AmIRC
and Miami would actualiy be
more efficient than running
Gadtools based programs.
In operation IBrowse is stag-
geringly fast at presenting what's
happening right away and image
decoding with its highly opti-
mised progressive decoders. At
the moment, the Web on an
Amiga looks best on (Browse.
Frames and Java script are
promised in forthcoming releases^
of the package where others
scrabble for the features iBrowsel
already has. If the authors can
add those features and fix the
last niggly stability problems then]
this will be the ultimate Amiga
browser. As it is it's clo&e
enough to come highly recom-
mended at any rate. ■

Anthony Brice packed up his
troubles in his old kit bag and went
off in search of what the world of
public domain had to offer. Here's
what he came back with.
Revolution
AGA demo
This is an interesting demo I ' '
picked up on my travels.
It's actuaMy been written by a
few English guys whtcli is,
as far as I'm aware, quite rare
these days, as most of
the demo stuff seems toi
come from abroad.
Revolution is pretty stan-
dard fare, but it's all done nicely and all of the still-
screens used as a bacJtdrop for the vector balls and
doughnut routines are pretty tasty. 1 recognised one of
them frorn the movie Hackers that came and went a few
months back. Also worth mentioning is the funky music
track, complete with metallic voice screaming the
demo's title at you when you first fire it up. It sounds a
bit like the Pet Shop Boys - no bad thing - and kept me
watching quite a while after the effects had finishetf as
it played in the background.
There are fevM better intros out there for those
who really get into them, but for the casual observer,
^^^^^^^^^,^^^,^^^_^^^^,^^___^ this one's

Defy 6
Australian Scene disk magazine
Now this is what I
call a decent disk
magazine, it's very '"'■■lA'-fM
nicely laid out and aretn* « y^iwi-, n m
, „ ,„.„ _- - ryam. wkat It Sis iki«i
has lots of images »m iriac
to go with the
smaller articles.
The very profes-
sional front-end
makes it wary easy
on the 6y«, It also
looks great with
the green/white
and grey Colour
scheme and the
navigation around the pages is handled very intuitively
via cursor keys or mouse.
Defy 6, (I presurne there were a previous five issues
of the magazine), is an Australian 'Scene' magazine that
goes a lot further than a lot of the other efforts that
concentrate on pureJy Amiga related material and has a
huge variety of articles covering other interesting mate-
rial as well. For example, there are pieces on degrading
your system for running poorly written demos that
won't work with all Amigas, an interesting read on IRC
and information for good Amiga places a$ well as a
reply to Aminet's controversial decision to ban the use
of QMS archives.
Apart from Amiga-re1at«d material, there's also
some stuff on PGP, a great piece on humourous
answer-phone messages and much more than I can fit
into this space. I could have done without some of the
more poorly written articles by the dedicated 'scene'
writers, but the good stuff far outweighs the bad. This
is great stuff
indeed! It's
definitely weli
worth taking a
look at.

Silly Stories

AGA demo
At last a themed demo. Too many of the recent batch
Kave all been just fancy graphical effects bolted into a
few sequences to show off new ideas without any real
thought in presenting them in any themed manor. OK, so
that's probably not really the idea of creating a demo in
the first piece but it certainly mahes a change and
Severed gets praise for that as well as being pretty neat
in its own right. Apparently it also won second prize at a
convention called Abduction 96 as well which should
preve its pedigree as a worthwhile download despite
being nearly 2Mb in size. Set in a medieval theme,
Severed opens with a castle backdrop and several ren-
dered images of helmets, axe handles and the like doing
the rotation thang. The backdrop changes every few
objects to relieve the samey- fee ling with suitable pictures
for the setting such as orna-
I mental scrolls and between
these effects there's a short
^ slideshow of some very nice

which is more than pleasing
to the eye. Cut to the end

A regular CU Amiga p™"
Magazine reader, I
Paul Riggs, has
come up with a
very entertaining
game called Silly
Stories which will
run on any Amiga
with iMb of
memory. Written in
Amos, Silly Stories lets you type in a list of words which
it will then output into a story for you, which, depending
on your choice of words, can create very funny results. J
had great fun playing around with it, and, due to Paul's
clever idea of storing multiple banks of words which you
can store on dish and recreate classics at a moments
notice, there's potential here for a lot of laughs. Think of
the fun you could have especially when there's a group
of you playing the game who have just come bach from
the pub. And no. we at CU have no wish to learn what
words you use after all-night drinking.
Another clever idea in the game is the u$e of different
templates that use your words, such as the history
lesson and diary. These add long-term appeal and playing
around with the game is great fun due to the multiple
silly samples playing in the background which had me in
stitches. Very good fun, especially with a group of you
competing to see who's is best. And
remember: no swearing!

AGA demo
To date this ranks as i
the most hizzare demo
I've ever seen. (
recommend you take a
look but you are going
to need a reasonable-
spec Amiga to be able
to run it. The file alone
uncompressed is over
two and a half
megabytes and needs
an 030 machine with '
an extra 4Mb of fast
RAM. If you qualify then grab this and see what it does
for you.
Television is, according to its creators Bizzare Arts,
an experiment in overlaying demo effects across video
output. It looks like they've used grabs from movies
here for the backdrops as there are scans of cars skid-
ding and market places, although they must have had a
video camera for some of the work as they put them-
selves into the film.
Very drab colours are deliberately used on this
footage to make it stand out and combined with the
creepy music which I thought was superb, its a very
impressive piece of work. Well worth a look if you're
after something a littfe different from — — ^ ' - -
the run>of-the-mill effects these days.

This is not, 9i th« title would lead you to believe, a
compilation of tools for the Internet. However, this disk
has beeni obviously designed to have something that
appeals to evervcul^-
For a start, AMOS owners will like it <as there is an
assembler lor the serious code>heads as well as a
starfield generator for shoot 'em up lovers.
Unsurprisingly there is yet another new Trashcan (why
do they heep writing these things?) similar to the
Macintosh one which stores deleted files like a cache so
you can access recently deleted files if you decide not
to kill them after all. We also have AppfWIore, which per-
forms specific functions with particular files when
dropped onto its window, simitar in style to Class Action
(reviewed last month) but not as pretty.
As well as a disk tester there are a couple of disk
tools as well, namely DosPrefs, which lets you use Unix
wildcards dnd enable 'no-click' on floppy drives. Finally
there is a module to sample conversion toot along with
a Prime Factor generator which shows prime factorisa-
tions of given numbers, n1, n2 etc. Exactly what the
doctor ordered.

ARexx MUI app creator
iHiCTBiHaj^na^
Ever dabbled in ARexM programming? If not then skip
past now. The same goes for those of yO" who hat©
Magic User Interface.
Still here? Good- MUlRexx lets you create front-end
GUIs using the powerful features of ryiMl with simple
ARexx scripts. A lot of programs now offer an ARexx
port, allowing them to be remotely controMed from
script files. This is ideal for automating tedious tasks
such as imiage processing and batch operations.
It is actually possible to create fuil applications
using MUlRexx, as the example demos prove but most
people will probably use it purely to generate GUI
front ends for scripts that conti-ol larger applications.
To make life easier there's even a builder program to
heJp you create the front end GUI so you can put the
rest of the script into place later on. Have a look at the
pictures here to see the results you can achieve.
MUlReKx doesn't yet support all of the functions with-
in MUI but there's enough to be going on with. Be
warned that you need to read the docs and give it
some time befure you get really good results. Requires
OS3.0 + . Very highly recommended.

Of Mice and Metn
mice and tnemotv tools
Anothercompila- i
tion dish, and
what a great
title. I booted this
up expecting
same badlv
spelled text file of
the works of '
Charles Dickens
but soon caught
on. Of Mice and
Mem is actually a ^
group of useful
tools and hacks relating to mice and memorv, atong with a
program for handling a&sign requesters which $sems
s^trangelv out of plac».
The stuf'f here ranges from standard tools for dtsplay-
ing auairsbile memory, of which there are several, and a
couple of handv commands for redirecting where the
Amiga looks for mouse input so you use the joystick port
if you've brohen the original.
There are a coupEe of small hacks including -one that
lets you emulate a middle mousa button from the key-
board, and a very stranga program that gobbles all your
memory - useful for testing applications In low'memory
environ moots. Personally I would just use MUI for that
kind of task. It's rather good at it.
Overall there's not much here that you can't do with
one of the commodities such as IVICP or MultiCX, but it's
A good compilation in its own right if you ever have
probJems with either of the two subjects covered, as one
of the programs may be abte to help you cut.

DoodlePaint 2.1
art iiackage
DoodlePaint is a nice program flawed by the limitations
of Amo$, which was the programming language used
for its creation. Easy enough to use, it has some nice
graphical too's that usually only show up in superior
commercial art packages such as Brilliance, However, it
sluggish to use and the GUI is unfriendly.
Among the effects on offer are the usual freehand
bits with tines, boxes, pattern-fills and circles. You also
have more interesting effects like blur, spray and
shapes, using triangle and rhombus which appear to be
unique. You can even overlay starfields which suggests
that these ideas have been bolted on through revisions
as the author came up with them.
There are some options generally associated with
more advanced software, like brushes (you can flick
between nine that are stored in memory, which is
clever) but there are major flaws. Changing screen
modes results in the loss of the current picture, there's
no spare screen and you're limited to IFF formats with*
out AGA.
The documentation claims you can use HAM and later
contradicts itself slating that it's not possible. It seems
the latter is correct which is a shame a^ it limits the
program severely. I can't really see much appeal for this
in Its current state but there i& potential here if more
work is put into it. Features like datatypes, multiple
screen modes and AGA support are essential.

Despite the horrible OS 1.3 interface built around scripts
and aged display toots to present info the information in
this disk is well worth it This is a veritable gold-mine for
the technically-minded who want to improve their Amigas
and don't mind getting their hands dirty, fie warned that
the tutorials here are not for novice Amiga users, or peo-
ple with no understanding of electronics, as most work
entails breaking warranties by opening the Amiga.
These tutorials are mainly text files, some with simple
IFF diagrams, covering fitting 3.5 inch hard drives into
Al200s and using PC input devices like mice and jioy-
sticks. And there's a lot more. Those who revel in this
kind of project will love Helping Hands.
Some of the text is a bit out^dated now, but I could
have used it myself for the hard drive info a couple of
years back. Recommended provided you can live with the
horrible interface.

the right tools. We test two here.

Oime's moved on for
CDs and now they're
the ultimate standard
for reproducing large
quantities of data cheapty, They're
mostly read only but there are CD
Writers {CD-R decks} which can
write to their own special 'Gold'
disks worth about a tenner a shot.
The HP4020i is one such CD-R
deck and operates as a quad speed
read and a double speed writer,
The HP4020i is a SCSI unit,
though you'll need a quick SCSI
interface to use it if the source
drive and the CD-R are on the save
controller It's not so much of a
problem if the source drive is on
your IDE interface so that it doesn't
use the same SCSI bus. Mote,
once CD'Rs get on a roll recording
data, they must not be interrupted
for even a second or the recording
will be irretriev-
ably lost>
Design wise the HP4020i is a
standard looking CD-ROM drive
with two status llights on the front
panel. One indicates readMrite
operations while the other is a
general status indicator.
iViasterlSO
Only PC softw/are is supplied with
the HP so you'll need a copy of
Asimware's MasterlSO package
which performs the dual tasks of
creating an ISO disk image and
writing the image to the CD-R.
CD-ROMs don't use an Amiga
filesystem, they use a filesystem
called ISO 9660. The only reason
CDs work on the Amiga is because
CD drivers have an ISO 9660 file
systenn built in.
MasterlSO must read the entire
source material tor the CD and cre-
ate an ISO image file. This means
the ISO file will be slightly larger
than all of the' source materi-
al. If burning a full CD
you'd need a 650Mb
partition for
the
mii.nm .1 11
Flir •rr»i»wt 1
Hwflr CuiT J
700Mb partition or so
for the source files.
Don't buy a large drive
since building the
image will trash the
heads about and take
quite 3 long time two
drives are better
MasterlSO only
guarantees certain CD-
K SCSI controller and
hard drive combina-
tions will work while
others will carry an ele-
ment of risk. As a rule if the units
match or e.»!ceed the specifications
there shouldn't be a problem, Asim
recommend such controllers as
the Fastlane and D KB 4091 Zorro
III SCSI controller. Add on SCSI
modules for accelerators should
be suitable and perhaps even
some of the quicker Zorro II units.
The PCMCIA Squirrel or Surf
Squirrel units, however, are not of
high enough specification.
Burning gold
We use the HP4020i with an
A400OT and its built in 4091 SCSI
controller. The hard drives are high
specification but relatively cheap
Seagate Medialist models. Building
a full 650Mb image takes some
time even with a 68060 machine.
Around 15-20 minutes is the norm.
The length of a CD is measured in
minutes and seconds, the time
taken to write to it is its length
divided by two.
Audio tracks can also be writ-
ten but first 16-bit 44 KHz stereo
sample files must be converted
, , to raw CDDA format in the
„«^ same way as building an
ISO image. However,
Asimware say that this limi-
tation will be removed from
the next version of
MasterlSO. Mixed CDs have
the data ISO file loaded as
track one and the audio
tracks loaded after.
MastefiSO sadly has a

kludgy user interface which
gurued when 1 tried to run it un.::-
my CGraphX RTG system. It's t' ■■■
to run MasterlSO by booting with
no startup-sequence; the Amiga's '_
multitasking nature may take awayj
valuable CPU time from the
process of writing to the CD. It
also cures any problems running
on RTG systems.
Conclusion
MasterlSO is not cheap, but it
works well. Hopefully with a
MasterlSO update some of the
more complex; aspects of making|
CDs such as placing track mark-
ers in the middle of audio data
will be implemented. Until then,
if you want to get into CD writing|

Draw Studio
Here's a brief taster of a new package on the way from the authors of
Te-xture Studio and Image Studio; Andy and Gicpham Dean have been at it
again and this time they've come up with a
structured drawing package that aims to
knock spots off the competition. Draw Studio
promises a list of features ir eluding various
types of filled text jinciuding bitmap pat-
terns), text wrapping on curves, structured
drawing tools, bitmap and structured combi-
nations, transparent colours, exporting as
EPS, aspect ratio corrected display
and lots nnore. For now here's some
pictures of the pre-release version.
Draw Studio is planned for
release on floppy and CD-
ROM in mid-October. Watch
out for a full r«wiew in the
next CU Amiga Magazine.
For more information, call
LH Publishing on 01908
370 230.
Printers eh? Don't you just love 'em? As
well as using them lor all straightfor-
ward jobs like printing out invoices with
a little bit of invagination you can put
your printer to all kinds of uses.
And what with the low cost of colour
printers these days, it seems a shame
not to adorn your possessions and
stationery with customised logos
and frills.
Print Studio Pro, the main program
00 this CO, is a kiind of DTP system
that's specifically designed for desk top
printing, rather than publishing. By
combing text, structured drawing and
clip art elements you can build up
pages of labels, forms, letterheads,
coversheets and all that sort of thing.
It's pretty simple
to use. Once
you've set up
your page you
can then import
your various ele-
ments and
arrange them on
the screen using the standard DTP-style
boxes and handles. As you've probably
guessed already, there's a load of clip
art and fonts on the CD to get you
started. In
fact there's more than enough just to
get you started, there's enough to
keep you pumping oul those labels
for months.
Although you could do most of
this with a good DTP program, Print
Studio Pro is better suited to the job
because it's not cluttered up with
unnecessary options and memory-
guzzling features. If you want to get the
most from your printer, Print Studio Pro
is very highly recommended,

Since it absorbed Just Amiga
Monthly magazine into its own
EM nnagazine, LH Publishing has
teen the undisputed nerve cen-
tre of Amiga DTP LH's main man
Larry Hickmott will be fanniliar to
most DTP enthusiasts, if not
from EM magazine then sureHy
from his DTP tutorials that seem
to have found their wav into just
about every Amiga magazine en
the shelves. Jt'5 fitting then that
they've compiled this highly wor-
tlhv slab^at an all-in-one DTP
solution CD-ROM.
Top of the bill is a complete
lully functioning version of
Professional Page 4.1. This
acclaimed DTP package may not
have seen anything much in the
way of development over the last
few years, it's still a sound piece
of software and it works too,
which is always a borius, As is
always the case with advanced
DTP software, you'll need a fast
CPU to get it working at a rea-
sonable speed, otherwise you'H
find yourself spending quite a
while watching the screen redraw,
This is not the fastest bit of soft-
ware your Amiga has ever seen -
a good 030 or faster CPU is rec-
ommended, While it's not in the
same league as the Apple Mac's
Quark Xpress it's still capable of
producing professional docu-
ments, even entire magazines if
your Amiga has enough speed,
RAM and hard drive space.
All in one
There's no printed documenta-
tion for ProP^ge or any of the
software on the CD which could
present a problem for tiewcom-
ers. However, you do get some
comprehensive help in the form
of an AmigaGuide document
which tours the main areas of the
program along with some quick-
start tips-
Running at a far more man-
ageable speed there's a cut
down version of Final Writer
included on the disc. Final 'Writer
(■ Qrightntsi
J £ontpast
J jianna
Red ^ Green ^ Blue a/J
Lite, While this isn't as capable
as Professional Page when it
comes to big documents with all
the trimmings, for less adventur-
ous newsletters and presenta-
tions it's fine. Somewhere
between a fuN-blown DTP pack-
age and a word processor, it's a
lot quicker and easier to use,
with less demanding system
requirements. The interface is
nice too, taking in elements of
Magic User Interface without
actually using it. If you want
something to knock out neat
looking documents with no fuss
you can't go wrong with it.
An update to Professional
Draw version 3,03 from version
3,0 is also included. Professional
Draw 3.0 was included on the
May 1995 cover disks of CU
Amiga Magazine and this update
fixes it for AGA compatibility. If
you don't have that cover disk or
the original program, LH
Publishing say they have a few
back copies of that they can
supply, Professional Draw is a
structured drawing companion
program to Professional Page,
Those are the main players
on the CD but there's also a
supporting cast of smaller pro-
grams and tools that are bound
to come in handy. Directory
Work 1.62 is here to help out
with moving files around, han-
dling archives and so on. It's not
everyone's first choice of a file
manager but it's quite capable of
sorting out those day to day jobs.
Pull together
On the in^age processing front
there's Image Studio and GFX
Lab. Neither of them are in the
league of Photogenics but
together they make a surprisingly
powerful team, so long as you
use the strong points of each
program,, GFX Lab comes
equipped with an impressive
array of special effects process-
es, white Image Studio is a good
workhorse application especially
for re-colouring, re-sizing and
general re-formatting of images
(Mat Bettinson swears by it). GFX
Lab can be a bit temperamental
though, especially if you try to
run it straight from the CO.
Fonts and pictures are
some of the main beneficiaries
of the enormous capacity of CD-
ROM. There's around 110Mb of
fonts and about 230Mb of pic-
tures. That should keep you
going for a bit. The rest of the
CD is filled with all kinds of
useful bits and pieces, like print-
er drivers, archivers, ARexx
macros, PageStream 3 updates,
templates, picture viewers.
MUl and plenty more.
One unique aspect of this CD
is that every one ordered is spe-
cially cut onto a gold CD. This
has allowed LH Publishing to
offer a special service to all cus-
tomers. Anyone who orders the
DTP Toolbox CD can have up to
ten floppy disks' worth of their
own software included on the CD
for no extra charge. More can be
included for an additional fee.
If you're short of a good DTP
and word processing package
this should make an attractive
option. With Professional Page
as the main attraction, if you've
already got yourself setup with
Pro Page or PageStream the rest
of the CD is unlikely to tempt
you at this price. However, con-
sidering what you get for your
cash DTP Toolbox represents a
good velue DTP package on one
neat little gold CD.

A senior member of the maggot
community has repeated warnings that
a significant number of angling
hotspots are being identified each week
by the leading angling newspaper.
Commenting on the reports he said,
"1 need to warn all maggots to steer
clear of these danger zones or be
prepared to face waters teeming with
ravenous fish,"
Noting that Angling Times readers are
generally better equipped and higher
skilled than average anglers,
he warned,
"This information is now in dangerous
hands. These people will be
bagging up."
So the message is dear! Don't get
caught in the wrong place at the wrong
time, because Angling Times readers
are Live and Fishing.

CD-ROMS
Inside Super
CD-ROM 4 '
CU Amiga Magazine's CD® have
earned a reputation for being
the best top quality Amiga CDs
available. Here's why.
How to use CUCD 4
As with prior cuver CDs, CUCD4 can b« used either by
booting on a CD32 or Al 200/4000 with adequate CD32
ennulation. The CD will not boot under any Kickstart earlier
tJian 3.0. If using the CD via Work bench and intending to
run software directly off the CD then it's important to first
click ork the 'In it CD' icon. This sets up various assigns
and makes MUl 3.6 temporarilv available if it is not
already installed.
It's worth noting that running software directly from
CD is a touch-and-go husiness. While we've gone to a lot
of effort to make many programs run from the CD, others
may have to be dragged to your hard drive either ittAnual-
ly Or by running an included installer. 'Init CD' also runs
the New Icons patch so (ton't be Surprised if the icons
change afterwards.
Audio
tracks
This iTionth's beat modules are
CompuSpace by Dominic Smart
and OutWipe by Paradise Decay-
Compiispace is a four clnannel MED module and OutWipe is a
Protracker module also only four channels proving you don't need
multiple channel formats to sound superb. As last month, we've
given tine modules a subtle stereo image and then burned direct to
CD as 44<hz 16bit audio. You can play the audio tracks either in your
CD-HOM or a standard CD audio player but on the latter rennemberto
avoid track 1 and go straight to track 2 for Compuspace snd track 3
for OutWipe.
Have fun exploring CUCD4 and don't forget to send us any work of
your own so we can include it on later CDs, Feel free to write into the
magazine and tell us what you'd like to see on future CDs or how
you'd like to see them organised. Address all letters to CO Editor,
A word on demos and games
Demos and games are almost never coded in a so-called OS Legal
way That means that while they may work for us. they might not
work for you for several reasons. Either your hardware set-up is
slightly different or some third party software running on your Amiga
may upset the demo or consume resources that the demo/game
requires. Please do not assume the CD is simply 'faulty' if any of this
software refuses to run.
There are things you can do to make the software more likely to
ijn. Closing down any running software, screens and such forth will
■■ee up resources. It might be better to cut to the chase and copy the
JBmo/game onto your hard drive and then boot with no startup
sequence. This involves resetting and holding down both mouse but-
tons, then press boot with no start up- sequence.
You'll then be placed into the AmigaDOS shell so you'd need to
know enough about that aspect of your Amiga to navigate to where
the software is and run it. Ag a general rule, if the game or demo still
doesn't work then it's incompatible with youf machine. If you get a
requester asking for a specific volume then the software needs
'assigns' set up and so is fairly likely it has an insialter that should
have been run.
Generally driving CUCDs is as simple as clicking on an icon of
something you want to run, play, see etc. You should find it will
automatically activate a player, viewer or run the program without
further ado, Of course if you access CUCD from a directory utility,
then you can use your own preference of players, viewers etc on
the specific files.
We can't emphasise enough the importance of clicking on any
readme or other documentation files inside each directory. There's
simply too much material for us to detail here so you'll have to
explore, read the documentation and see if each program or whatev-
er is of use or interest to you.

When the Super CD 4 icon (called CUC04} is opened from
the Workbench, you'll see a smaller window than usual.
This isn't because there's a lot less meterial, it's because
this month's CD tahes the different approach where the
bulk of the material is in a separate 'CUCD' drawer.
CUCD4 rcxst directory
Magiazine
This month the Magazine directory contains four drawers. The
Wired World directory contains WhirlGlF ro go with the Wired Wo rid
tutorial in this issue, It's also got a bumper coltection of iCon pictures
for Web page use. There's also some example
AnimGIFs and HTML creation packages including
WebPlug and WebDesign. Tfie PD Scene and PD
Utils drawers contain the OMS and LHA
archives of the software reviewed in PD
Utilities and PO Scene this month. Finally the
Psion directory contains the AmigaNCP
Psion to .Amiga networking package to go with this
months Psion paimtop computer"
feature. What's more there's virtu-
aHy every item of freely redistrib-
utable Psion software included too
a)l in LZX archives.
Workbench
The same as previous Workbench
versions installed on CUCDs, it's a
full installation of Workbench 3-1
minus the ARexx distributions.
Support
This directory contains many of the suppoa programs and
utilities used to play and view the rest of the fibs on the CD
It's similar to last month only this time
the MUl installed is version 3,6 and a
new Delitracker is included
XCAD 2000
This directory contains the full commer-
cial release of XCAD 2000 2D and 3D. It
can be run from the CD but would be better
being dragged onto your hard drive.
The CUCD drawer
Demos
This month we have a bumper collection of Scene Demos including the
sequel to the CUCD2 massive Data World animation demo. Wild
Summer. All of the Demos are uapacked and ready to run though they
may need to be run by booting with no start-up sequence. Be sure to
check the system requirements in any of the readme files present with-
in the Demo drawers.
Infomnartion
h! Ltiis diiectorv' there's a collection
of text and AmigsGuide documents
ranging from a ShapeShifter
survey to an entire stand-alone Star
Trek database.
On-line
Dedicated to Communications soft-
ware, a few select packages have
been included such as the latest
version of the 97% rated Miami
Internet software, the YAM and
Voodoo Email clients and a voice-
mail package called SpeakFreely

there's an entire sub di recto Pi^ of
software for the Imagine series of
rer^dering packages including some object converters and a
good Quantity of 3D objects, For those without Imagine, a RayStorm
■avtraceT demo and the Grimm batch image/animation processor
s includedi.
Sound
MIDI is the order of the day with CUCD4, The MIDI drawer
contains the fabulous GM Play, general MIDI player software which
i..ses Amiga samples. What's more it also has two sets of sample
data, one for low memory systems and a very high quality set
for tfiose with 8Mb of HAM free. There's a massive collection
of MIDI files here are well The rest of the drawer comprises
C'f selected modules and readers modules sent in for
aJCD4. The best module is also produced as m audio track
c.nCUCD4.
WWW
As with CUCD3, this month we have a massive collection of
Web pages on the CD ready to view without the need of an Internet
account. Accordingly demo versions of AWeb 2.1 and iBrowse 1.0
are provided to access the pages. This month's special is a monster
collection of Amiga user's personal home pages from around
the world.
Readers Utilities
This now has its own directory due to massive amounts of quality
applications and programs sent in by readers, There's a great variety of
programs ranging from the simple to the complex.
CD-ROM
Support software for CD usage can be found here, The latest version of
the superb PD AmiCDFS 2 filesystem, Megasearoh which creates a
database of your CDs and a CDID directory containing thousands of
audio CD tracklists which when used with several audio CD player
applications will atitomaticalty recognise CDs and allow you to add to
the collection.
Games
Entertainment central with a collection of PD and demo games
and the readers sent-in games to boot. As always we can't
guarantee that they'll work on your particular Amiga so please
read whatever documentation is provided, checking system
requirements and so or*.

liJiJjJB stars in your
1^^^^^^ eyes but
H I 9 I not in your
^^^^^ animations.
Here are three ways to
create realistic-looking
starfieid effects.
If you have ever tried to render
space ships witli irragine, you will iiave
no doubt come across quite an irritating
problem: stars, They just don't lool<: right
Although the Globals menu in the Actior*
editor contsins a star density setting, there are
several drawbacks with it. For example, stars
won't appear through transparent objects, are
all single pixels in size, are all pure white and
refuse to animate properly
To illustrate this, imagine {excuse the puns)
that you are animating a space ship flying past
the camera. The camera pans to follow the
ship, but unfortunately the stars dont move as
you pan so the illusion is mined. And the fact
that the stars are all single white pixels means
that if you render something which you want
to print later the stars come out either looking
extrennely boring and flat or even stand a very
good chance of disappearing altogether.
Luckily there are ways and means of avoiding
these pitfalls with stars and I'm here to show
you how.
John Kennedv
Solution one
First, perhaps the most obvious solution is to
use a backdrop texture instead of the default
star field objects. Depending on your artistic
abilities or your access to NASA images, this
can be a fantastically realistic way to spice up
your images. Think of Babylon 5's lovely pur-
pje star clusters and how they stop the
images looking du
Here's how to add a backdrop to your
images. Remember that 3 neat trick is to use
a backdrop that you've rendered previously.
This will save on rendering time.
Stap one
Create a starry backdrop using either a paint
program or by altering an existing image.
There are plenty of NASA images around
such as those taken from the Hubble Space
Telescope which are extremely colourful. It is
essential to keep the backdrop the same size
as the final render, so if you plan on rendering
jmages of different sizes it might be a good .
Idea to create a large backdrop (say 640 by
512) and scale it as needed (to 320 by 256
for example).
Step two
Create an Imagine project and after loading
and positioning your objects, go to the Action
editor. Open the Global settings and enter ttie
patK and filename of the backdrop image,
Stop thr99
Render your project. You can use 256 or more
colours if you like when creating the back-
drop and Imagine will automatically reduce
[or increase) the number of colours tb suit the
finished backdrop. Sometimes blurring the
backdrop before you use it can produce very
interesting results.

olution 2
A backdfop might be OK for a still image but
what happen-s when the camera changes posi-
lon? Although, you can animate-a backdrop
using multiple images, trying 1o keep in sync
with camera movement is neariv impossible.
One exception would be a 3D star field
ffioving towards the camera with an object,
sudrh as a space ship, static in the middle of
tie screen. You can create an ariimated star
f eld using an Art Program such as Deluxe
Paini, or try digitising the end crediits to Star
Trek TNG with FYoGrab. By creating two anima-
tions, one with the stars moving into the cen-
tre of the screen, one with the stars moving
tawards the edges, you can create great chase
scenes. Cut to a sequence with ship one,
snowing a view fronn above and behind, using
the forward-looking star field, Then cut to a
sequence of another ship, this time viewed
from the front, The background stars are mov-
ing back into the centre. This gives the innpres-
j on that the second ship is chasing the first.
However, a simple backdrop doesn't really
SLiit animation. The second approach is to take
;he background texture and map it onto an
DGject which can be shaped to suit the anima-
tion movements. A short pan from (eft to right
fT-ight require a long rectangle, whilst a full 360
degree rotation might mean that you will need
tci map your design into a solid sphere and
position your objects inside. This technique

also has the advantage of showing through
transparent objects. Here's how to do it -..
Step one
Create an image for the background, it doesn't
rtiatter about the resolution, In Imagme's Detail
editor create a primitive plane 10 map the tex-
ture on to. Change the si?e to suit the resolu-
tion of the picture (if the image i& 320 by 256,
make the plane 320 units wide amd 256 units
highland change the default 10 units to 1.
Step two
Now select the plane's attributes and pick
Brush maps. Pick the background texture and
r .1 l,i,l«i-\ P,tlJ Ui^iM. Wff^
keep to the default settings. Make sure the
Bright setting is on- this will prevent the back-
drop from being shaded and keep it uniform in
colour. Now save your backdrop object.
Step three
Turn to the Stage editor and load in the Plane
object. Scale and position it behind the key
objects in your scene, making sure you can't
see the edges. Don't use lights which cast
shadows, although a Bright background object
will be immune to shadows.
Step four
If you are being adventurous, you can use the
transparent colour option to create several lay-
ers of backdrop for a bizarre parallax effect.
Make the backdrop pattern a Filter map (in the
Brush map selection window) and use a pure
white backdrop with areas of darker detail, The
white areas will be transparent, the darker
shades more opaque, Now add lots more lay-
ers and move them at different speeds for an
'interesting' effect. Great for dream sequences
and alien nebulous Iffe forms.

TUTORIAL
Solution three
This final solution is nny favourite, as it involves
creating the entire universe as an Imagine
object, As stars are really nothing nnore than
points of light, there is absolutely nothing to
stop you from creating several thousand small,
brigtit objects. Nothing that is, except the
three nnonths it would take to do the job prop-
erly, Imagine creating an object, copying it.
moving it and repeating it nine hundred and
ninety nine times ... there just has to be an
easier way.
There is, although it's taken me several
years to find it. I wish I had thought of it, but I
didn't; I read it on an old USENET posting so
total respect to the genius who thought it up
in the first place-
Here is how to create your own jniverse in
a minute or so. You will need a sensible
amount of memory to cope with all this {as
yoLi might expect, the universe is a big placej
so if you get weird crashes try investing in
some more Simms. About SMb of Fast RAM
and a quick 030 is good to start with.
Stap on«
In the detail editor, create a primitive Sphere
object ihit F5 and select the default sphere).
Alter the size so that it's about 1000 units
in diameter
Step four
Now create a single star The object has to
be as small as possible and that means a
miniature pyramid. Use the Cone primitive,
like this:
Cfinff Paran»tarx
Radius
He ight
Circls 5»citon&
Vertical Sections
9t399«r Potnts
Close Botton
OK Cancel
Step two
Use the Object menu, pick Add and select
Axis. This gives our sphere an Axis and
makes it a 'proper' object-
Step five
Alter the attributes of the star object so that
it's white and bright. Later on you can create
star objects with different colours if you wish.
Step six
Now the fun part. Select the star object and
then use the Functions menu, pick Moid and
Replicate. Fill in the following settings (alter
the 500 to a smaller number if you don't hav&
much memory). Notice how the Sphere
object IS the path (it got renamed to Axis dur-
ing the Join process)
©
1 n< km T fo Path
T bull I^^^^^^^^^^^H
Step seven
When you click on OK the star object will be
replicated five hundred times, 'You can now
select and delete the original path. Whooee!
Look at all them stars'
Step eight
Finally, copy the stars and paste them back
again after scaling them and rotating them.
Hey presto! One brill parallax starfield effect.
Step three
Sefect both objects and use Join from the
Object menu. Now select Make Path from
the menu too. This changes the Sphere
from an object, to a Rath which objects can
follow (this itself is a wonderful concept to
play with!)

Pretty pictures on web sites are great
but it's annoying if they take a long
time to download. Here's how you
can get around this problem.
After last month's advanced
hocus pocus with Client
Side Image Maps, we'll
move back to so me basics
and then add some more
ad'i/anced techniques later.
I've had a couple of Emails ask-
ing about text and image centring
so I'll tackle this to begin with.
There's a couple of ways to do
this, firstly there's a 'Netscapism'
tag called <CENTER> which does
exactly what it says on the tin. Y01.1
inserl <C£NTER> add some text
and/or images and then terminate
with </CE.NTER.>.
One nice way of using < CEN-
TER > is in conjunction with' align-
ing an image to the left or right
rather than simply centring the text
above or below. You would do
sonnething like this wvith the follow-
ing HTML;

This here text is cenlensd and nicely framed.
You can add your blank Hnes and eyen the odd ^^''l'^ image^*^ or so
and rtl afl be centered wfth In the bounds of the CENTER tags,
Dont forget to add a clear-a)[ attribute in the last BR lag to stop flowing
araund the image.

This example will align the in-line picture
to the left of the display. The text is then free
to carry on wrapping around the image on
the right as you would expect but it's now
centred to the right of the picture. What's
nnore, you can add nice <HR> tags for hori-
£Ontal breaker lines and they will frame the
centred text quite attractively.
Return to sender
The MailTo tag is one more Netscapism artd a
worthy addition to HTML which has been
taken on-board by most other browsers. This
is extremely common to add at the bottom of
web pages so that people can Email com-
ments directly to the author of the pages by
simply clicking on the link.
The MailTo tag looks similar to a standard
<A> link but takes the form of; <A
HREF--"mailto:joe@blogs,com">. This will tell
tfie browser to start the process of Emailing
ioe@blogs.com when the link is clicked on.
What's more, there's another handy field
which can be added right after the Email
address in the form of '?Subject=' and the
sobiect of the Email which would make it easy
to identify where the Email was launched
from. F^r example;
Click
Ct ■WWW > here </X> tc Smail ma.
The word 'here' will be underlined as usual
with a link and the Email will have the subject
of 'WWW', It's important to note that this is
met by a varying degree of success depending
on the browser involved. AWeb and Voyager
will need scripts to launch existing mailers
while IBrowse and the PC posse has the Email
functions built-in. There's nothing to stop you
from using an image as usual, perhaps a pic-
ture of an envelope, just make it clear that it
will Email the person involved.
An extra boost
Now we'll move on to an advanced topic and
one which has taken the WWW by storm. It's
One thing having pretty web pages but they can
look a little static and this is where a little bit of
aninnation can work wonders. Animating a small
aspect here and there can give the documents
a little extra life. To create some animation you
need AnimGIFs. However. AnimGIFs aren't
very efficient as an animation method so you
must be spartan when using them or risk
annoying your visitors.
Currently the only Amiga browserto sup-
port AnimGIFs is the commercial iBrowse fromj
HiSoft but the others should implement sup-
port for it before too long. This doesn't offer
too much concern since the first frame of
AnimGIFs will be displayed on browsers not
supporting the standard.
Firstly, we'll need a too.1 to create AnimGIFs
and since this is a fairly new development,
there's no decent native Amiga software
available. Fortunately, there's a port of a Unix
command line (shell) driven tool called
WhirlGIF which can handle this. WhirlGlF can
be found on the CD in the Magazine/Wired
World drawer or on the Aminet in the path;
gfx/conv/WhirlGIF20.1ha
To work properly WhirlGIF needs individual
frames of the animation in GIF format (it does- '
n't matter whether they're 97 or 89a types}.
The frames should be of the same size and
use the same palette. This can be tricky but
exactly how you do this really depends on the
graphics manipulation packages you use. One
COMMS
i Ikfnnnulejf a jlalic lenei «r^ cut do Itii AimEIF intict. Die li^ hiiiivg hilt ikmn heic Ititiili tli« CU Aitii}« lo^n iaxtcs «ig«i^ cwiittsr •! lRi«|tn( Z.G iii lfe« ' nid»nii»' kitlH
ftia<
Hhniqiie is to set the palette to something
ich should cover all of the frames, load the
ages as brushes and remap the brushes to
IB screen palette. PRarnt and DPaint can deal
viiii this easiily,
WhirfGIF should be driven in the shell with
GTiethirvg looking like;
ftbirlGIF -o animgif .ffif
fiBBwl.gif fraiiia2^gi£ .,
■tln<e 50
The file animgif.gif here is the output
nimGIF and the value after '-time' is the
snount of tiine that each frame will be
displayed in ticks, so 50 is one second, The
p input GIFs are then specified from first to
If the AniiTiGJF is to be transparent, the
Fansparent colour should be the sanne [ie the
I background) on all frames, An additional
^argument of '-trans' followed by the number
fthe palette which is transparent, will
s required. You can tell this from your
lim package.
It's even possible to specify the time
riable for each frame in case vou want to
Bve a single frame displayed longer or short-
[than the rest. In this case a full example
night look (ike this;
lilrlGIF -o Knimarif .iglf -trans
-tm* 20 Jfl.gif -tin* 30 £2.q±£
-tiBie 40 f3.gif
The resulting AnimGlF can really only
be tested inside IBrowse so simply create an
in-line graphic and specify the AnimGlF. It's
still a good idea to use the width and height
tags, you may as well let the browsef lay
out the pages correctly while It waits to toad
the AnimGlF.
Billboard effect
So what sort of things might AnimGIFs be
used for? One common but simple method is
to have just a few frames sporting some
changing text banners. Done correctly, this
looks like a kind of stadium billboard which is
quite useful for maximi&ing impact and space.
This is quite common on web searcher sites
now where every advertiser is allotted a single
GIF. Other more interesting uses could be to
add a touch to a logo such as on SASG's
superb web site at http://www,sas9.com. Note
the spinning globe at the top.
Unfortunately in this case the webmaster
has used some PC software which isn't avail-
able on the Amiga. The AnimGlF standard lets
you animate only a portion of the GIF while
using 'WhirlGIF you'll have to include each
whole frame so it's best not to try and replicate
what SASG have done with their spinning globe
nntii some proper Amiga AnimGlF processing
software appears.
However, SASG's glowing help button is a
good example of how a large-time value
before a faster sequence of frames is used to
achieve the rising and falling luminosity
effect. SASG's Tiny rotating bullet points is
another excellent example of AnimGIFs, This
kind of thing could be easily created in DPaint
using the brush moving function Spin, Twirl or
othenA/ise a small arrow. Colour the 'other' side
of the arrow as It turns and save out the individ-
ual frames. Then convert the frames to GIFs
before giving them the WhiflGIF treatment
Why not go the full monty and drag out your
copy of Imagine from January's copy of CU
Amiga Magazine? Load 3 postscript font fnto
the spline editor's Load Font function. Choose
add points, extrude the font some, then save
out the points as an object.
Try fmagine's detail editor for applying a
nice attribute such as gold too. This text
object can then be animated as per John
Kennedy's tutorials on the subject. A simple
-rotation would do. There need only be 10 or
so frames and the output renders would only
have to be 50 x 50 or so which will make for
extraordinarily quick rendering. However, after
converting the frames to an AnimGlR you
could have rotating 'f^EW graphics which
actually sparkle as the edges pass the cam-
era. There's no limit to what you can add to a
Web page given a little bit of imagination and
some restraint concerning the frames, colour
depth and size of the image. ■
Mirt Bsttinson
GIFs and the
It's a shame that the AnimGlF has appeared
as the most common simple animation stan-
dard for the Web. Not only is it not a very effi-
cient standard but it has the same legal
problems as the standard GIF format with the
Uniisys patent etc This means it's increasing-
ly hard to find new software which has sup-
port for the GIF file format built-in. Many, like
Cloanto's Personal F^mt and Nova Design's
ImageFX, have used the freely redistributional
modules approach. That means that the
loader/saver modules aren't present in the
actual package but are available to anyone
free of charge. This gets around a license
code needing to be paid for the use of GIF
These modules are of no use to anyone else
but owners of the package in question but if
it ►feeps the price down who's complaining?
ImageFX is no longer shipped with a GIF
loader/saver but it can be found on the
Aminet in the path biz/patch/ifxgifbl.Iha
This is a superb Implementation of the GIF
standard with full progressive and transparen-
cy Support. By using ImageFX's effects, an
original frame can be modified, saved as a
GIF ready for WhirlGIF the undo function
applied, the effect altered slightly and so on.
CDMMS
I
In the first of a regular new series we
take a trip through the World Wide Web
to uncover some of the more useful and
entertaining sites out there ...
First port of call for any free-range
surfing session has to be a good searcfi
engine. We've put our faith in tlie old
favourfte 'Yahoo' to point us towards
some cool corners of the Web, digging
into the eniertainment/paranormal section to
reveal some UFO sites. From here we've
chosen to kick off witii a tour arour^d the noto-
rious secret" US Air Force base known as Area
61 , a remote dry lake bed used to test new
military aviatiion technology- The address is:
{www.ee.fit, edu./users/1pinto/sec-a51,htmlk
Located in the Nevada desert. Area 51 was
of course the location of the Roswell Incident,
in which it is alleged that aliens crash landed
their spaceship and were then taken away to
the nearby military installation for examination.
The official comment from Area 51 has not
been consistent, and the incident has never
been explained, leading to hundreds of diffei
ent theories from UFO enthusiasts. Persona; iv
I reckon the crash was simply a prototype air-
craft Ipresumably there are plenty of these a:
an Air Force site which 'tests new military tecf
nology') and that the subsequent film footage
of the aliens' post-mortem was a pretty daft
fake. Spooky eh? Well, it's a theory anyway ...
There are some photos of the area taken byj
a visiting UFO fan which include shots of the

UFO and paranormal sites which should keep
fans going for hours on end.
Now for something
oompletely different
The club and festival organisers Universe have
a particularly nice looking site with details on
previous and forthconning events, Although at
the time of writing it's still adorned with the
Tribal Gathering graphics (the year's top dance
music festival) it's got useful information for
any techno and house fans in the London
area, with full listings of the OJ lin&-ups for
their dub nights at the Complex club in
Islington. We've picked it out here nnainiy
fcewuse it's got some of the best graphics of
any of the sites we've visited this month -

Censorship reaches the Net, P10S hit out

and rumours abound about IS/licrosoft.
Microsoft on Annifla?
RuiriOLirS that have been circulat-
ing that Microsoft is looking to
port its free Internet Explorer (IE)
browser to the Amiga.
This would be welcome news
as IE 3.0 has recently overtaken
Netscape as- the most popular
browser in the world though to
date it has only been available in
Microsoft Windows and Macintosh
versions. We asked Microsoft's
head of the IE project whether the
rumours were true. A Microsoft
representative, Yusef Medhi,
replied: "As of now, we have no
plans to dev/elop IE for the Amiga.
We are always listening to our cus-
tomers and if the demand comes
in we will reconsider our plans for
the Amiga platform".
Some have argued that
Microsoft's products on the
Amiga would be too large like
their PC software, though if the
Amiga did have a port of IE it
vs/ould have an industry standard
browser capable of tables,
frames, animgifs and Java etc. If
this sounds good to you, then
please drop Yusef a Sine on
yusufm@microsoft,com and state
your case.
PI OS partirtfl al^ot at VIScor|i7
PIOS' web site has been
updated with some rather inter-
esting tidbits. First there is a
statement about an inability to
secure a 'working agreement'
with VlScorp. Secondly there is an
announcement about their forth-
coming PowerPC machines.
Interestingly these machines
will be running MacOS and no
announcement has been forth-
coming on the availability of an
AmtgaOS port.
With the current statement
concerning VlScorp it would
be unlikely that PIOS would actu-
ally be free to port AmigaDOS
to the PowerPC, This either leaves
PIOS to implement a 'compatible'
OS ala Phase 5 or to stick
with MacOS.
Recent rumours suggest PIOS
are looking at the Bebox's propri-
etary operating system. This is an
odd move since as yet it has nO
significant software support.
Perhaps here's where PIOS parts
company with Amiga users? Drop

Sound
In a refreshing twist to events,
we're concentrating on what not to
do instead of what you should do if
you want to create great music.
hgs'
•^ances
f you want to make interest-
ing, fresh music a good
adage to boar in mind is
'never say never'. You might
have noticed over tlie years
this Soundlab series tends to
centrate on the do's rather
don'ts, because if you fili
head with a massive fist of
VOLi shouldn't be doing
you write some music, the
are you'll end up with
inething about as challenging
d exciting as dayttrne TV.
sver brealting away from that
positive angle for once, this
's Soundiab raises some of
lings you might like to avoid
to improve the quality of
tunes.
lanks to you, the readers, we
to hear hundreds of moduJes
pop through our letter box for
of the Month type competi-
not to mention the thou-
ts that weave their way to us
lugh the PD channels. Quite
n the s.aime 'mistakes' will be
from one mod to another
it's these kinks that this piece
attempt to iron out.
Ird
in spilling
lie of Uie most common down-
alls of mods is thai they reveal
[their entire collection of samples
ithin the first minute or so. This
I't necessarily a problem if
h's enough variety and pro-
Ssion in the music itself to
up the interest level through
Jt of the tune, but often this
the case. People's ears get
to sounds very quickly and
. -hf repetiitfve sounds, the bram
as a habit of blocking them out
perception before long. For
iple, here at the CU Amiga
wine offices the din- of
jon traffic is constantly btast-
through the open windows.
but it's only people at the other
end of the phone that seem to
notice it, while we seem to
become 'blind' to the noise (or
maybe we're just deaf).
ff you're not careful, you might
turn your listener's ears into invol-
untary shutdown. Keeping a few
samples up your sleeve for later,
along with some unexpected
twists and turns in the arrange-
ment will give you a better chance
of keeping your audience atten-
tive fronn start to finish. One trick
is to give the impression you've
spilled the beans early on, but
then follow this up with repeated
bean spilling whenever attention
may be about to wane.
Structure
There are no rules about the
structure of a piece of music and
sometimes it works if you Just go
with the flow. However, often it's
clear that there's been no thought
given to the structure of a mod,
generally because it peters^out
halfway through and then just
repeats the first .sectiorts with a
few half-baked ideas thrown in for
good measure. It's an easy trap to
fall into especially, if like me, your
attention span seems to shorten
drastically once you've spent an
hour or so on a track. One way to
impfove your chances of coming
up with a 9ood balanced track is
to think, about the overall struc-
ture of the song before you start
out. Wili you follow a straight pop
format of verse, chorus and mid-
dle eight, or the cfub-friendly
build, drop out. riff, build and
repeat ,.. maybe you've got your
own format or sequence of sec-
tions i^n mind. Either way, this can
help avert the feeling of having to
'fill' three and half minutes for a
pop song, or 10 minutes for an
ambient piece or whatever, 'y'ou
Common pitfalls
can use each transition penod as
a time to take a break from com-
posing, have a cuppa and return
with rene*.rt/ed enthusiasm and
ideas, a bit like stopping off for a
bite to eat at the motorway ser-
vices during a fong car journey
(well sort oft.
-X,
Bad tools
A toad workmen blames his tools
apparently, but it's up to you to
make sure your tools are up to the
job, or your samples in this case.
It's frustrating to hear a mod that's
full of gooiJ ideas but is spoilt by
low quality samples. If you have a
particular sample that's a pivotal
point of your track, but you've got
it from some second rate pre-sam-
pled collection there's only so
much you'll be able to do to
improve its quality. If you've done
all you can and it still sounds-
grainy, muffled or distorted, why
not try getting hold of the original
source sound and sample it your-
self. If it's a riff from an existing
record, you'll need to find out
where it's from sooner or later if
you want the track to be released,
so why not do a bit of detective
work at your local record shop.
I was once working on a track
based around a tiny piece of
piano pinched from the old house
record Strings of Life, but took
the sample from a vinyl compila-
tion with about ten tracks
squeezed onto each side, so the
sound quality was av^uli. The
track was then released on a CD
compilation, which I snaijped up.
Unfortunately the
quality VV3S just as
bad on that (some-
thing to do with the
original having been
pressed on recycled
vinyl I think) so I
shelved that track.
However often these
remastered CD compi-
lations have come
straight from the origf-
nal master tapes, so
the quality is spot on
Don't forget though,
that you'll need cop'y-
right clearance if you want to
release a track that samples an
existing record.
Vwn full up
With the arrival of multi-channel
trackers like OctaMED
SoundStudio it can be tempting to
keep layering more tracks on top
of one another to fill out the
sound, While it's true that most
studios have access to many
more tracks on their big 'Bfidge of
the Enterprise' style mixers, it
doesn't follow that you need
loads of tracks to come up with a
good production.
Over filling a piece with too
many sounds at once becomes a
problem when the instruments
start fighting for your attention,
often because they are using the
same frequency ranges. It's loads
of fun to have access to all these
tracks, especially after being con-
strained to just four for so long,
but take time out to make sure
each sound and part of the song is
tfiere for a reason, doing a job
that's not already taken care of by
another part.
As a test, when your tracks
start to fill up, try playing through
a looped section and removing
certain instruments. If you don't
notice their departure then you
can really do without them. If
you're particularly fond of such a
part, you can always copy it to a
spare pattern and use it some-
where else in the song where the
arrangement is not so busy, ■

Frequently Asked Questions
still using a TV with your Amiga?
Here's all you need to know about
exchanging it for a monitor instead.
I Q. Why a monitor?
I Ai Monitors produce much bet-
[v: pictures than TVs, although top
aJity TV sets with Sc-art inputs
■comparable to cheap monitors,
-i'l'.vever, certain types of monitor
vill operate at faster refresh rates
an TVs and thai means larger
splays with no interlace flicker
■ Q. Can I u«a a PC
monitor with an Amiga?
1 A. Most PC monitors are
SVGA and operate at a refresh
I rate of about 31 kH;. The stan-
I da'd Amiga output is 1 5kHz. This
mjjns an Amiga operating in this
n-'Cide will not be able to display a
hcture, However, Annigas with
I AGA chipset can open special
[Double Scan and Multfscan
creem modes which are very
ilose to 31 kHz. Sadly, in most
>:•; ^es they aren't close enough
ISO if you are offered a PC moni-
'tot try it before you buy it.
Fr member that only wkh a
caphics card can the Amiga
^e a PC monitor reliably.
I Q. Which can I usb?
I A. There are a few monitors
axiund which are designed lor
trie Amiga, such as those pro-
dLced by MicroVitec. Not only
.-■ ' these monitors display stan-
;: :'d 15kHz screen modes but
I- ..jDleScan and MultiScan
■' .des too. This means you can
a : rjlay a 640 by 512 Workbench
.'. 'h no interlace flicker.
MQ. What is interlace
flicker? Can 1 stop It?
I A. An Amiga operating in a
normal PAL video mode can
display a screen of 640 pixels by
256 lines, However, a display of
640 by 512 is too much to be
produced in one frame of video.
Instead the Amiga takes two
attempts, displaying half the image
in alternate frames , The result is a
larger display but with an annoying
flicker Interlace is acceptable in
some video applications but it's no
good for serious Workbench work.
To stop the flicker do two
things: speed up the Amiga's
video output and display the out-
put on a suitable monitor: a TV
simply isn't up to the task with its
15kHz refresh rate. You can speed
up the Amiga's video output if you
have an AGA chipset by using
DoubleScan or MultiScan screen
modes but as discussed these
aren't compatible with most PC
monitors and require a dedicated
Amiga monitgr Instead a piece of
hard\^'are called a FlickerFixer can
be used, This buffers the two half-
frames and then resends them at a
speed suitable for display on a PC
monitor. The only Flicker Fixer cur-
rently available is Scan Dou bier II
from Pbwer Computing and it
requires a Zorro slot,
I Q. i-iowv does a
graphics card vworic?
■ A. A graphics card (ie Picasso
or Cybervisioni fits into a standard
Zorro slot on big box Amigas. It
has special driver software which
provides extra screen modes:
when you alter an application or
Workbench to use these new
nnodes, the video output appears
out of the back of the new card.
As well as the drfvers
provided with the card, many
cards are supported by a
package called 'CyberG rap hies'
or 'CyberGFX'. This is a set of
drivers which is supported by
lots of applications and as long
as you have the relevant drivers
for your card you can make use
of any software which support
the CyberGFX standard It's the
nearest there is to a standard for
'retargetable graphics'.
■ Q. What are the
advantagesi of using a
graphics c;ard7
■ A, Graphics cards can open
larger displays with more colours
and faster refresh rates than the
standard Amiga graphics chipset.
AtS a result you can use a 256
colour Workbench screen in 800
by 6O0 pixels or better, without any
flicker or shimmer. The Workbench
display will work quickly without
using up a lot of Chip RAM.
Unlike the normal Amiga
graphics modes which are based
on 'bitplanes', graphics cards
work in 'chunky' screen modes,
which are very suited to moving
around large blocks of data such
as windows. P^ge processor/DTP
programs and rendering packages
such as Imagine or Cinema4D will
also benefit. It's also possible to
replay animations much quicker: a
package such as Main Actor
Professional can play back Anim
files extremely fast. Apple Mac
and PC emulators will also work
faster with a graphics card.
Although HAMS mode can dis-
play many colours, graphics cards
can display true 24-bit images. TV
Paint and Photogenics can use
the new graphics modes to dis-
play thousands or millions of
colours very quickly go your
graphics will have never looked so
sharp, bright or colourfui,
I Q. Are there any dis-
advantages to the card?
■ A. Yes. For a start you need a
suitable Amiga as all graphics
cards require Zorro slots, Then
you'll need a decent monitor: it
would be a waste of time attempt-
ing to use a graphics card with a
TV or 15kHz moriitor, You need a
PC style SVGA monitor and the
bigger the better If you want reso-
lutions larger than 800 by 600
you'll need a 17" monitor and
that's another £500.
When you do gel your graphics
card system connected to the new
monitor, you'll find that not all pro-
grams will work- Most applications
will work but hardly any games will
run. This is because, for speed rea-
sons, games don't request screen
modes or perform graphics tasks
via the operating system: and that
means they can't be re-directed to
the graphics card, So. you'll need
to resort to your old monitor or TV
for them. The Amiga's standard
bitplane graphics are much more
video-friendly than the output fronn
graphics cards. Smooth scrolling,
genlocking and high-quality video
titling is stfll best left to the stan-
dard Amiga output.
B Q. Do all graphics
csards require Zorro
slots? I have an AI ZCXI;
am I studc?
■ A. One solution is to buy
a Tower Case adaptor which
includes Zorro slots but that is an
expensive route, A new module
called Grafitti might appeal to
the Zorro-less or budget minded.
It connects to the standard
monitor output and has special
chunky graphics modes which
can speed up certain applications
a lot, More details when we
get them.B

TUTORIAL
Our investigation
into Workbench's
hidden nooks and
crannies continues.
T
L
ast month we got on the
case of the missing
Workbench files and
unearthed a few that had
Itaeen lurking around in the
recesses of yotif Amiga, This
month we continue along that
vein with Sonne more files that
you can find on your Amiga, if you
look hard enough.
L plates
The L directory is where you will
find various system handlers and
file systems. This is one of those
drawers which can happily keep
itself to itself and leave all us
alone, If you take a peek you
may find exciting files such as
the Cross DOS FifeSystem or a CD-
ROM or networking filing system
if you have instalfed one. Yes, it's ■
also where the Shell handfer lives,
but it's all a bit much at times.
For more information on the
delights of handlers and other
Amiga devices, bunt out a book
called 'The Amiga Guru Book' by
Ralph Babe!. This is the respected"
reference work for those who
really enjoy C.
Fonts are us
t
\
Fonts are fun: remem-
ber that. When your
DTP program is refus-
ing to print anything
even slightly resem-
bling what is on
screen, repeat it to r-,
yourself like a mantra:
'fonts are fun, fonts
are fun'.
Whenever you see
text appear on screen,
you are looking at a
''ont. The appearance
and the size of the let-
ters is determined by
the typeface used and
the point size of the
\eM. Vou can control
the fonts used by the
Workbench from the Fonts
Preference editor, As you use vari-
ous packages and install new pro-
grams, the number of fonts you
collect will grow to frightening
proportions. It's worth having a
clear-out every so often. If you
don't, you'll find you have to wait
ages every lime you want to pick
a font in an art package.
There are two types of fonts:
bitmapped (sometimes called
non-proportional) and scalable.
The default Amiga font is called
Topaz'. The name doesn't mean
anything special, its just the title
the Amiga designers gave to it-
Topaz is a bitmapped font, which
means it was designed to look
good at a certain size. For exam-
ple if you scale it up too far it will
look blocky Bitmap fonts are use-
ful because they are memory effi-
cient and fast. A good text editor
such as Cygnus Ed can scroll text
incredibly fast because it deals
exclusively v^itfi bitmapped fonts.
The disadvantage of
bitmapped fonts becomes obvi-
ous when you use them in a DTP
program and send them' to s print-
er Yuck is the word I To get
around this, the Amiga uses
This is a Serif Font
This Isn't. This is good old Helvetica. Most boring
font of the year maybe. Good for headlines and
once modem looking text though.
This is a i^eface called Times, which is often used with
Helvetica it's a seiif font (i.e it has little bits at the end of
Ihe letters) and it is easy 1o read when used in a small point
size It's also used a lot in newspapers, perhaps with a lypdace
^^iiich has no serifs (sans serif) for headlines. Or vice vetsa. Those
art people, you can't tell what they'll do next

InteHifonts. These are fonts
which are different from
bitmapped fonts in a fundamen-
tal way. Rather than storing a
miniature image of each (etter, a
description of the text is stored.
Whert drawing a letter A for
B)(ample. the Inteliifont descritjes
the two lines meeting at an angle
and the cross bar. The result is
that no matter what size the let-
ter is displayed at. it's always
smooth. As you can imagine this
process takes up more memory
and processing speed. For DTP
applications though, it's worth it.
So why does your printer pro-
duce smooth text when you print
a text file from a text editor or
the Shell using bitmapped fonts?
Because unlike with a DTP pack-
age, the text itself is being sent
to the printer, The printer can
then use its internal (smooth)
forfts to print it-
A DTP program wifl not send
the plain text. Instead it creates
an internal image of what the
printed document looks like. It
then sends this image line-by-line
to the printer as though rt were a
huge graphic image, Result: the
ability to include graphics and
smooth fonts oo matter what
size they are displayed m.
The fonts drawer on
Workbench (ah, I knew we
would get around to it) stores
both these types of fonts. You'll
see Topai in there: in fact, you'll
see a file called Topaz. font and
then a sub-directory called Topaz
which contains a file for each
size available.

Overd rivers
j 0f^ I recently pur-
j^/K^^^ chased a second
^HPI^k hand A12aO with
^^H^^i^B an Archos
^H|^V Overdrive dual-
^^^ speed CD-ROM
drive piugged into the PCMCIA
slot. An Archos 'Over-CD' installa-
tion disk came with it but the
installation does not work proper-
ly. One executable On the disk
called 'gpdate-handler' recognises
that I have an EIDE CD-ROM drive
preserrt, as it copies a file called
'EIDE' to the RAM-disk. The pres-
ence of this file then causes the
execution of the correct part of
the installer script. The problem is
that the only fiie that gets
installed is 'L:overcd-handleT', The
installer script then tries to install
some libraries into UBS: fronn a
disk called 'OVERGO', which I do
not have.
The person from who I pur-
chased the nnachfn^ insists that
only one installation disk came
with the drive. Do you know
where I can get another set of
installation disks from? In reply to
Duncan Strand's letter in the
September issue you stated that
the Zappo and Archos CD-ROM
drives are pretty much the same.
If so. would 2:appo CD installation
software work with my CD-ROM
drive? Would it be possible to
replace the drive in the Archos
unit with a newer faster one (say
four- speed or six-speed)?
Peter Barrack, Pembrokeshire.
kif[ht,/int ofati iefs check that
those misning tibraries isren 7 on the
irtatalUftian disk (which you refer to
as 'Over-CD' and the script calls
'OVERCD'i. If they are there y&u
can copy theitt to UBS: by hund. If
not, it sounds like you need another
iaxtaitatian disk (how come the origi-
nal owner never installed the dri'^e?^.
Zappo installation dixkx would prob'
ably work if you could get hold of
some. Replacing the drive with
another IDE mechanism should pre'
sent no problem.

PC monitor
j^g I recently acquired
j^P^ a Philips gCM053/
J§g^ ^ OOb PC colour
^K^^^H monitor. There
^^^^^V was no manual
^^^^ with it so I phoned
Power Computing to ask if their
VGA adaptor would work with this
monitor, They said the 9 pin con-
nection on the monitor would not
fit their adaptor and recommend-
ed phoning RSD Connections in
Hertford, which I did, RSD said
there should be no problem con-
necting my A1200 to the Philips
monitor. They supplied me with
an adaptor cable but -I could not
get a picture on the monitor from
Workbench 1 got a pate multiple
image when I tried the game
Soccer Kid on it.
I wrote to RSD but they replied
that they only supplied cables and
could not help with technical
advice. Is there anything 1 can do
to get this working or is it just a
case of incompatibility and £15
wasted on a cable?
Peter Collins, Tipperarv Town.
G^od news: you should be able to
get your monitor working yith your
A1200. You need t{i select a VGA
COfnpatible screen mode from the
Workbench preferences^ This
monitor will not display video screen
modes, the default screen type select-
ed by your Ai2flO. Soccer Kid (and
most other games) will not work on
this monitor because they too use a
video screen mt>de. There's no way
you can change the screen mode
used by most arcade-Style games, so
you'll have to use a TV or a video-
capable monitor to view tkose^
SoundStudio
I have a few
points concerning
OctaMED
SoundStudio.
1. When I try to
use the echo
effect in a fairly big module I get
'not enough memory' even
though I have a 4Mh RAM card.
2. To get SoundStudio to work
without the owner check failing, I
have to put the entire disks'
contents into the RAM disk. Why
is this?
3. My setup is an A1 200 with
6Mb of RAM and a Gillet Micro
Mixer. When I try to use the pan
effect '2E' you can't notice the
effect. But I still want to put my
modules through the Micro Mister
4. Most of my breakbeats are
split and saved as segments (ie
'bass shot.amen', 'snare-
riff Icemen' etc). I know ven^ little
about ARexx scripts but I want to
write a script that would load all
the relative segments of a sample
when I clicked on just the first.
5. Where and how do you get the
Startup.omed script to work? I
would (ike SoundStudio to load a
metronome module with a 4/4
beat as a default. I can get it to
work from a keypress but I'd
much rather iust have it work
automatically every time I start a
new module,
6. I'm on a tight budget. Can you
recommend s 50MHz accelerator
for about £200?

2. Wt're not sure on this one. Ofirs

rersi&n requires: the disc to be in the
CD drive even (f Iftadingfrom the
kard drive.
3. This panning effect works fine for
ta. Ax tvith question i, check that '/-
€4 channel mixing* is enabled. Alio
motf ititi you are uaing the correct

4. This is tricky. We're st-arting up a
rvkole new ARexx series very stN^n,
so keep 'em peeled - thai skouid sori
you out.
5. LikewLie, an ARexx tutorial is
really in order here.
6. The cheapest 030 aet-eleralor for
your A 1 200 is the Magnum OJO card,
vhich ii avaifable mth a very capa-
ble 4(imHz 6H030, optional FPU and

Is this possible with my current

Sediicated sample needed?
iraeme Milne, Northumberland.
Certain types of CD-ROM drives can
ss the sample data from audio CD
7cks across to your Amiga. There
' a few tools available from the
\iblk domain which will aliow you
I do this, such as Audioljib 16 for
lample (which vas included in a
ker earlier form on our CUCD It).
Your particular drive is not listed as
being compatible with it, but that
doesn't mean tkst it*s not. Try hunt*
ing down that and any other similar
software (search PD CDs for "cdda"
which is short for CD digital audio),
PCMCIA RAM
I've had my Amiga
1200 for almost a
year now and
since ( purchased
it I have been try-
ing all over Hull
and the local area to find any-
where that sells memory cards for
the PCMCIA port, but as yet 1
have had no luck. Any ideas
where I might get one?
Paul Collins, North Humberside,
A PCMCIA RAM card will be slower
and probahiy more expensive than
an equivalent RAM card for your
trapdoor expansion slot, so you may
as well ditfh that idea, A trapdoor
RAM card will free up your PCM-
CIA slot for other peripherals, such
as a CO-ROM drive, a video dlgitiser,
hard drive and so on, Ifyou^re deter^
mined to gel a PCMCIA RAM card
you might try looking ay some PC
dealer's culverts. These should work
fine in your Amiga, even if they are a
bit slow.
jgf^ i have required
J^/^^^ 3 CD-ROM drive
J^HP^^ for my A 1200 for
^^■^^B Sonne time now
^H^^f and recently have
^^^^ been offered a
CD32 for £99.99- Please could
you help me by answering the
following questions:
1. 13 it true that a CD32 could
be connected to an A1 200 via a
Pa met cable, or indeed any
other cable?
2. Would the above connection
eoable both t^ie A1200 and the
CD32 to share the CD-ROM, the
hard drive, and the floppies?
Or at least could the A1200
access the CD-ROM in a fast and
reli-able way?
3. Where can I get a Fernet cable
from, and for how much, or could
1 make one?
4. What is the speed of the
CD32'3 drive?
5. Is there any difference
between the A12Q0 and the CD32
internailly?
6. Has the CD32 got stereo
sound outputs for connection to
an amplifier and will the machine
play music CDs?
7. Is £100 a good price to pay for
a brand new CD32?
8- Is it possible to attach a floppy
drive to the CD32 and load
Workbench? Can a keyboard be
attached also?
C Purle, Lancashire.
/. Yen you can.
2. Yes, hut the data transfer rate is
not very fast.
3. You can get all the necessary soft-
ware and cables from Marpet
Developments for £24.95. They
call the package CD32 S-PORT.
Call them on 01423 712 6m for
more details.
4. It's a double speed drive.
5. Yes there are a few differences, but
the CD32 is based on the AI 200.
6. Yes it has stereo audio outputs and
will play audio CDs.
7. You could probably get one cheap-
er if you shop around.
H. Not without adding an expander
system, suck as the CD32
ProModuie, as reviewed in the July
1996 issue ofCU Amiga Magazine,
Talking trash
Is It true? Did the
Gurus at CU
Amiga Magazine
actually advise
people to format
their hard drive,
just to elimmate an annoying
uashcan (Masterclass, CU Amiga
September 96)? What nonsense.
There are two perfectly simple
ways of removing a trashcan from
a directon^. These are as follows:
1, Open a Shell and type delete
workbench3.0:trashcsn#?'. This
will delete both the trashcan and
its icon.
i. Use the IconEdit program sup-
plied with Workbench to change
the trashcan icon into a drawer
icon {Type menu, select Drawer),
save the changes then delete the
trashcan from Workbench by
selecting it and using Delete from
the Icon menu,
There, now isn't that a lot easi-
er than reformatting your entire
hard disk? Not mention a -damn
site safer I will consider this a
brief lapse of concentration on
your behalf and trust it will not
happen again.
Scott Strachan, Portsmouth,
Yes, you could do either of those
things, but John says that if yoa fol-
low point one and then at a later date
selected Lmply Trash {either deliber-
ately or by accident) the system may
well get confused and do something
rather horrid. When faced with your
second suggestion John says that
yes, you can go right ahead an do
wtuu you like with your Trashcan,
getting rather tired of the whole
affair, perhaps wishing he never
mentioned it in the first place. Hut
he's not wrong!
Oh go on —
In Kays Catalogue 1 saw an Amiga
1200 Internet Surfer pack with
2 Mb of RAM expandable to
4Mb for £629,99. Is this a good
purchase? I am looking for a com-
puter that can handle graphics,
wordprocessing etc as well as
having good gaming capabilities.
Also, as 1 use a Mac and PC
computers on a daily basis 1 was
wondering if there was a piece of
software that can translate Amiga
files into PC format and vice-versa
(ie a program similar to Apple
File Exchange on the Mac} as this
would greatly benefit me and
my studies-
And finally, with all the specula-
tion surrounding the Amiga's
future, 1 was wondering If the
Amiga would continue to be one
of the leading home computers.
Tony Smith, N Ireland
First of all, yes it's a good buy,
although the Internet software in the
bundle is now quite dated. Once
you're on-line you can get all the lat-
est from the Internet. The Amiga
1290 can actually be expanded to at
least I30Hdb RAM with cards such as
the Blizzard 1239/40/60 range, not
fust 4Mb. Yes, it's excellent for graph-
ics and productivity software and also
has a wide variety of games available.
You don 't need any extra software.
The A 1 200 comes with CroSs-Dos as
standard-, which will read and write to
FC format disks, as well as format
them from scratch. Mac disk emula-
tion systems are also available. As for
the machine's futurey it's holding up
amazingly well so far ...

OIIUTS OF VIEW

Charts and hearts
By Alan Dykes
I would like to take this opportunity,
my last as it turns out, to comment on
the situation the Amiga community
finds itself in at the moment. On one
hand tens of thousands of people are
still buying CU Amiga Magazine, still
enjoying it and still finding it the
invaluable source of information it
always has been. On the other hand
magazines are dosing down and soft-
ware houses are deserting Amiga
because sales aren't as high as they

were. And who can blame them? You
can't survive.on good wil] alone.
But don't let the begrudgers drag
you down. Mail order saies of CD
softwafe^ of hardware, of games
even, is stronger than the charts let
on. If people can't get games in shops
by goify they'll get them elsewhere,
and many of-lJiese sales will not be
recorded by those who compile
charts. You haven't been able to get
pfoductivity software in shops for
years now but that hasn't stopped
people upgrading vJa mail order to
later, more powerful versions.

Sour power
Some weeks ago Stuart Campbel!, ex-
Amiga Power staffer (a mag sadly no
longer with us - and pretty sad too
while it was), penned a typically
vitriolic put-down of Amiga games
sales for the console dominated TV
Teletesrt report Digitizer. Mr Campbell
is 3 respected computer games
journalist of considerable experience,
and even if his reference to Amiga
Pbwer's 'mighty oaken doors' is a little
overstated - token would have been
more accurate for the last 12 months
considering its size and its anti-Amiga
attitude - he should certainly be taken
seriously. Or should he?
His report centred around sales of
three games in July, with figures
complied from the Gafiup/ELSPA
charts top ten. The three games were
Gloom tno position stated). Premier
Manager 3 (number 5) and Worms
{number 2). The first sold 1 18 units.
Hmm. The second sold 332. Dearie
me. Worms sqld 526 copies. Oh no!
More information on total sales fol-
lows and, getting out his calculator,
Stuart works out that Worms has sold
appro!(imately 19,666 copies on
Amiga since it was launched. Is that
including or excluding the 526 in sold
July? Never mind. By the way Team
1 7 disagree with his sales figures but
he's using industry standard informa-
tion so let's stick with it.
Fact finding
What Mr Campbell fails to point out is
that each of these games has been
on sale for over six months, Gfoom
Deluxe is no doubt the version of
Gloom he is referring to (it's the only
one on sale in my local HMV), which
is itself a 10 month old sequel to a
game well-nigh 18 months old,
Premier Manager 3? Another old
sequel. Worms, the only original
game, was also released before
Christmas 1995. Using Stuart's
gbomy benchmark figures would
mean that at an average of just over
500 games per month Worms would,
even by now, have sold just 5500
copies and not the 19,666 he himself
quotes Ithafs 500 per month for
the 11 or so months it has now been
on sale for).
But hold on, is it possible the
reason these games aren't selling welf
is that they're just too damn old now.
Mo doubt the vast majority of Worms'
total sales were achieved within the
first month or two, like any piece of
software, Vou see these three old
timers are still in the top ten because
nothing has ever been released
that's worthy of replacing them there,
You can't have sales without
products to sell!
Another odd omission was the
number 1 game that month. No prizes
for guessing what it was, I'm' not
suggesting that SWOS is selling
tens of thousands every month, but
it's ahead of Worms and due to
Warner's policy of bringing out a new
version almost every time the Amiga
community^ breaths the game remains
at the top. Accusations of recycling
are fully justified, but what the hell, if
Stock Aitken and Waterman could do
it why can't Sensible ? The real point
is that you can't sell the same old
stuff forever, it has a shelf life and if it
isn't replaced it wont be sold. A
computer format cannot hope to
survive long if its manufacturers keep
going out of business either.
Software producers will always
pick the newest and most exciting
platform to develop for If and when
VIScorp finally conclude their buyout,
produce or licence for production the
next generation Amiga and manage to
avoid the receiver, things will change.
But in the meantime there are still lots
of people out there looking for the
(atest NEW software to run on their
Al 200s. and where there is demand
(egitimate supply usually follows (in
the free world anyway).
If you want the Amiga to stay
around then remember you have the
power to keep it going. You could do
worse than trying to program your
own games and applications: anything
is possible, As Jean-Luc Picard would
say: Make It So'.B

An inspiration to us all
I originally got an Amiga 500 about six or seven years ago to play games on. Every bov i^i nny
year had one, it was the in thing to have and we had them because we enioyed playng
games. Since then I have upgraded to an A1200. a Blizzard 1 230/IV and a CD-ROM drive for
the purpose of playing better games, The AT 200 ^A/as bought to play AGA ganriies, the
CD-ROM drive to play CD32 games and the Blizzard to play new Doom clones sjch as KG,
However, I have become increasingly frustrated by the lack of new games coming out that
really push my system to the limit. I wrote to a number of games companies asking them' why
games Such as Putty Squad, TFX and Myst were never released, I am asking that other Amiga
users do this and join together to write similar letters to publishers so we can finally see
games such as TFX and Putty Squad which I am sure would be a huge success on the Amiga.
I believe that if all the active Amiga games users group together and pressurise the publishers
we could get more games in the shops that people actually want to buy. The Amiga users
have grown up, we are no longer a group of school kids with A500s but a group of students
vtfith Amigas which are easily a match for some of today's PCs. I feel that the software indus-
try needs to be told what the other underlying trends in the Amiga games market are. So
please write to them and let them know that you are out there. Remember it is always gannes
that sell home computer systems not hardware specs or business software. Therefore the
future of the Amiga still lies with quality games.

A few ideas
About eight months ago I sold my Amiga 1200
and li finally started to use a PC I bought about a
year and a half ago. after selling my A40D0,
However, I just could not get on with- the PC so
! purchased a secondhand A1200 until
Windows '95 turned up. Even so, I still buy your
magazine because the PC world is so dead (it's
all business or games, no productivity) and
there is just no magazine like yours for the PC. I
think it's because the Amiga had this great fanv
ily behind it who are dedicated users squeezing
the last bit out of the machine, whereas PC
coders just expect you to upgrade your proces-
sor or RAM. And now you have put a CD on the
cover, I can also use some of the pictures,
sound modules, etc on my PC, giving me a little
bit of the Amiga again. Thanks.
6* think \hm Phase 5, etc have got the idea
right, but I agree with Grant Sutdiffe (Backchat,
Sep 96) these will be over priced ma-chines for
the average user. The A1200 market is desper-
ate for a cheap machine that is very powerful.
A better idea would be if the A1200 mother-
board was upgraded with PC components. The
operating system could be modified to make
use of the new chips, so the processor wouSd
stay the same but increase to 40MHz, with an
option of an accelerator board in the trap-door,
which would contain an Intel chip (a Pentium^,
which would allow the user to use the machine
as an Amiga or a PC. Hopefully the machine
would cost in the E4O0-C50O price range,
Mr Symonds, Basildon.
Surely that would make it a PC? And it would be
fxpensivt. Sorry.
Are you listening?
Attention games developers for the
PowerPC Amiga and VisCorp/Al if the new
machine is to get off the ground outside the
current Amiga community, it needs a really
good advertising plan, i,e bill-boards and TV
ads, maybe even an advert in The Times'
'Interface' supplement. A slogan could be:
'The Technophobes' Computer For The
Future', indicating the fact that the Amiga is
an easy-to-use, easy-to-set up computer.
None of this 'Plug 'n' Play Multimedia' junk.
Also, to all the software developers out
J here: get quality games in the stores to coin-
Cbde with the release of the machine. The
Amiga community wants, nay. needs top
games if the PPC is going to compete with
Bill Gates' n-ionster Games such as
Command and Conquer, Quake,, Duke Nukem
3D, Resident Evil and the like really need to
be programmed, but BETTER, PC? Pal
Primitive calculator!

ROM cards please
''A'e isll remember the days when the Amiga
was the ultimate home computer, when all
graphics artists used DPamt and all games-
players played the latest games like
Lemmings. But all this has changed now, it
looks like the PC is winning the race as the
ultimate home computer. This is mainly due to
CD-ROM drives being standard on all PCs. But
there is something Commodore made stan-
dard also. Are we forgetting the Amiga BOO
and Amiga 1200 both came equipped with
PCMCIA slots as standard? When the A600
was laurtched, everyone thought we would be
seeing new ROM card software. But software
developers didn't do this mainly because most
Amiga owners ha!*A500s instead. Now
though, almost every Amiga owner is an
A1 200 owner if not ait least an A600 owner. So
I urge Amiga software developers to start
developing ROM cards! It may make it the ulti-
mate storage device! And to the readers of
this excellent magazine to write or Email them.
From Joe Betro, Croydort.
You're great
After reading your magazine for years I decid-
ed to finally write in and
1. Commend you on a brilliant magazine
(suck up}. The cover mounted software,
I
BAQKCHAT
I it on CO or disk is excelleint. Also tlianl<
eu for recognising tliat the A1200 is now the
itandard Amiga and making rrost of the
&3ver mounted software run onily on
nachirves like these ( it miglht encourage
jple to finalSy upgrade). Thanks also for
w awesonie homepage, It i& one of the
"ve seen in ages.
2, Grumble 3bout all the people writing in
whining about not having the money to
jpgrade so software developers should make
^ir software 1 .3 compatible.
I didn't have a proper job until three months
Until then I was working for £25 a week.
vever, I still have enough money for your
nagazine, I also scrounged enough for an
CCelerator and 4Mb of ram. If you don't have
he money for the magazine don't write in and
hin&, these guys need to make a living too. If
5u don't want to fork out the dosh for
ard/software then send it down here, my
iends and I will buy it, We are not afraid of
jrading. Between the four of us we have
102'Mb of Ram 6 Gig of Hard Disk space, 2 Zip
FDrives, 10 Zip Disks, 2 40OO/O40's, 1
1200,^^30, 1 1200/020, 3 SCSI cards. 1
Cybergraphics board, 1 Flat Bed scanner,
lilOOO's in software, 1 modem, l multiface
fcard. 2 Cann!>nBJ40C>0, 1 Panasonic KX-Plieo,

ithe software you either grin and bear or you
'upgrade - you just don't moan about it.

For the record
With regard to your August issue, I noticed a
letter about minimum quantities of record
pressing. Actually, the minimum in Europe is
by a very reliable company called
Gramafonove Zavody in the Czech Republic
FAX: 0042 31 1 962143, They are also
extremely cheap and offer pressing run quan-
tities as low as a 100 unitsi
I would also like to take this opportunity to
thank you for running the CU Amiga/FCI
internet offer, which I took full advantage of.
The process was cheap and simple and I can
now take my record label onto the net.
Thanks also go the those support guys at FCI
whose patience and advice was invaluable,
Justin Mitchell Coldi Spring Records.
Thanks for the tip off,
A show of support
After reading Andrew Clarke's letter in
August's CU Amiga Magazine, I rang The
Computer Store he referred to, to confirm
that they had CD 3 2 games in stock. I then
drove my son to Doncaster, where he bought
six games (five CD32s and one Amiga } for
less than £28.
So, I have a suggestion. If Amiga users
know of a local retailer who is supporting this
vastly under-rated computer of ours, write to
CU Amiga Magazine and make it known. This
will make it easier for other users to find the
Software they want locally, it rewards local
outlets for supporting our forsaken format. So
here's two to kick off with: Game in
^Meadowhall,, Sheffield stock games 1or both
Amiga and CD32 and at Virtual reality, also in
Meadowhall. I recently bought AB3D for a
mere £5.97.
David Green, South Yorkshire.
This is good news to hear David. Yes we would be
very interested in hearing from other readers who
want to mention a particular stare that is support-
ing the Amiga in their area, Flease send in the
details to '7 got it here \ CU Amiga Magazine,
Priory Courts 30-32 Farringdon Lane^ London
ECtR 3AU.
Tight wads
Who the hell do those Amiga owners who
say 'Why won't The Killing Grounds work on
my ,5Mb A500 (VI .2)'... think they are? The
rest of us go and spend hard earned cash on
accelerators and RAM upgrades in order to
keep the technology/scene moving, but these
maggots seem to be oblivious to this fact ...
How many 286/8086 owners query why
they can't run Quake or GP2 ? None because
they'd never get over the slagging. Kow I
have both an A4000 and a Pentium PC. But
technology marches ever onwards, \ started
off with an Atari 900XL and upgraded to the
A500 then to the A1200 then added 4Mb/CD
Rom, sold it and bought ... etc ... etc So this
is how it works. And if people cannot appre-
ciate this then too bad,
1 just read in your mag Worms iVl,5fl) is
AGA only ... GOOD, ABOUT TIME why should
I have to suffer because certain people won't
upgrade, I invested time and money in my
machine and I should be able to enjoy the
benefits. Games like the Killing Grounds kick
ass on faster machines and this rings true
with many other types of games: racing,
adventure etc

In the club
1 have been using the Amiga for about three
years and have collected quite a few emula-
tors. As I have not heard of an Emulators
club for the Amiga I would like to start a club
of my own. 1 would like feedback from any-
one using emulators or people who are inter-
ested in using them can get in touch with ma
by contacting me at the following address:

COWS
I am an old Italian Amiga user and I want to
congratulate you on an interesting maga-
zine. I've bought CU Amiga Magazine since -
1992 and. in my opinion, the 'Workshop' is \
the most useful sectfort.
However, I'm writing to remonstrate you
about the article which appeared on CU
August 1996 page 28. In the submitted arti-
cle Mr Alan Bunker wrote that my country
Is 'famous for: Ferraris; fashion: MAFIA'.
Thank GOD he forgot about 'Spaghetti;
Mandolini: Pizza and Luciano Pavarotti'. But
above all I want to know how you feel
about discovering that in other countries
the UK is known only for: 'the crazy [mad]
cows; hooligans and sexual interlacements '
in the Royal Family.' i
Also, Mr Bunker should inform himsetf j
before writing an article like this because |
there are other magazines apart from The |
Games Machine vwhich cover the Amiga
such as 'Jackson Amiga Magazine' (81 pages
with 1 disk full of PD), 'Enigma Amiga Run'
(CD-Rom f; 'Amiga Byte' etc ... These maga-
zines deal v/ith the Amiga only, and don't
just delegate it only eight pages so they can ;
pack in as many readers as possible.
